Probably the closest prior art would be the os.DirEntry objects used for the items yielded from os.scandir - that is the same general idea (a dedicated Python class to represent a C struct), just in the other direction. As with DirEntry, I don't see any obvious value in making the new objects iterable though - we should be able to just use named field access in both the C and Python APIs.
