I don't know about methods, but it works for functions.

This won't work; you have to be more explicit, e.g.:
errtype = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, POINTER(c_char), POINTER(c_int))
errfunc = errtype(print_error)
G_set_error_routine(errfunc)
NOTE: be sure to keep a reference to the wrapper, as ctypes doesn't hold
references itself. IOW, you can't replace the above with:
errtype = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, POINTER(c_char), POINTER(c_int))
G_set_error_routine(errtype(print_error))
If you do this, the wrapper is eligible for garbage collection as soon as
G_set_error_routine() returns, and will probably have vanished by the time
that G_fatal_error() gets called.
