I didn't realize there where TODO's for py involved in mesa build.. maybe we should add some to the SummerOfCodeIdeas wiki page[1] /me would add convert nir_intrinsic.h + multiple #includes to .py generating .c and .h if there was such a topic.. maybe not enough for a EVoC/GSoC project on it's own but perhaps if combined w/ some other work needed on mesa's python..
