+OCaml.  The primary aim is to make writing C extensions as straightforward as
+possible.  The core of ctypes is a set of combinators for describing the
+structure of C types -- numeric types, arrays, pointers, structs, unions and
+functions.  You can use these combinators to describe the types of the
+functions that you want to call, then bind directly to those functions -- all
+without writing or generating any C!")
