Nowhere (or just above it, to shut up the warning).

Because this is essentially a plugin (to python), it is like our own
modules where the caller (python) works out the name and finds it with
dlopen/dlsym stuff, rather than via a header. 

The only thing I would ask for is some spaces in this:
+    print "writing new headerfile: %s"%pythonfile_name
+    out_file = open(pythonfile_name,"w")

eg

+    print "writing new headerfile: %s" % pythonfile_name
+    out_file = open(pythonfile_name, "w")

Sorry for the nitpick, but otherwise, it looks good to me, and we can
work from here to make some python exceptions so we can raise something
sensible when we need to return an NTSTATUS error from C.
