make the API more 'pythonic' too (if we start adding properties etc.?)

was wondering about how to proceed, and thought that perhaps Yann could 
commit the replacements he's made and whatever is needed to get them work 
to the newly forked Tuhopuu (tuhopuu3) so we all could see and try them 
there first -- how does that sound?

perhaps the Tuhopuu admins wouldn't even mind having Pyrex as an extra 
requirement for compiling? otherwise i guess it could be a build option 
(while keeping the c written parts there too to enable non-pyrex build).

Yann also now mentioned http://www.freenet.org.nz/python/pyrexdoc/ which 
would get rid of the need to separately update the current doc/*. py s.
