Hmm, i must be missing something obvious. Looking at
http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html

it seems that it would just be a matter of converting from the ctypes
api to the cffi api. Though scanning it i don't see how some things
could be done, like examining the stack for windows to see if  you
passed the wrong amount of arguments. Most othres, however, like
endianess of structures, using custom datatypes, are all possible.
