I have C function, that accepts following struct as argument:
struct Field
{
  unsigned id;
  union
  {
    unsigned num;
    const char *name;
  };
  unsigned type;
  void *value; // pointer to data
  unsigned MFSize; // size of data
  unsigned flags;
};

I want to be able to use it from python.

What it is possible to do with union and pointers. Compiler want's accept it.
