Access to C++ dlls from Python

I've been looking into the vtable layout used in MSVC and it seems 
relatively straightforward to call object methods in a C++ DLL from 
Python, however my understanding is that the 'this' pointer has to be 
passed in ECX when making the call.  I can see it wouldn't be so
hard to 'hack' this into libffi, but first wondered if there were 
any other projects with code that already do this, or indeed any 
plans to incorporate it into ctypes?

thanks,
Biff.
 
PS:  Yes, I know there are a bunch of caveats regarding portability
but don't care.
