It might also be interesting to discuss this usecase on the enthought mailing list. If you tell these guys that this is an important usecase, that projects like ipython, matplotlib, would like to use traits as an internal dependency, but would still like to be able to use the benefit of traits when interfacing with other libraries, there might be a solution.
