Have you tried to contact pycaml upstream? It would be the proper
location to submit a patch. Moreover, your functions look like they
could be put outside of pycaml. The pycaml_setargs doesn't look generic
enough. Maybe pywrap may cause problem, but if there is something that
converts Py_True and Py_False to a C int (or directly a C version of
them) in the Python library (and I bet there is), you can drop the
dependency on pywrap. I'd rather prefer making proper stubs for
coccinelle, and waiting for upstream pycaml to incorporate your patch.

menhir is being updated.
