have you looked at the python bindings to libclang and the
cindex-dump.py script ?
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/bindings/python/
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/bindings/python/examples/cindex/cindex-dump.py?revision=96107&view=markup

I have been wanting to improve those and do something along the same
lines than yours (but for cython code generation)

recently, I came back at this topic (and submitted a few patches)
my work in progress on improving the libclang python bindings can be
found there:
