A trick you might consider is wrapping the X509_NAME in a PyCObject,
passing that to the extension type's constructor, and unwrapping it
inside the extension type's __new__ method. If you check carefully
enough, that would prevent Python code from being able to successfully
call the constructor, since it won't be able to manufacture the right
kind of PyCObject.
