When trying to create a sub-subclass of a ctypes.Structure, the behavior
is not as expected.

An executable example that describes the problem in detail and
demonstrates the issue is available at
http://paste.turbogears.org/paste/29555 and also attached.

The failing behavior is near the beginning, following the description.

Three unsuccessful workarounds follow.

The expected behavior is found at the end, where a final workaround has
been implemented.

Can this behavior be improved in subsequent releases of ctypes?  If not,
can ctypes at least support the workaround natively (perhaps by
providing a method in the Structure class that performs the workaround
and can be called by a sub-subclass during __init__)?
