Python's 'ctypes' library, which also uses libffi under the hood, has arrays:
  http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html#arrays
and also unions, which we don't have:
  http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html#structures-and-unions

So it seems like this should be possible, and maybe we can even use their code.
