Hi! For your interest, I like a lot your library, and I've created the project pyconfuse, a wrapper of libconfuse for Python.
I have to do some changes, the main, to change the use of malloc/free by the python memory functions.
My goal is to use confuse in both environments: C and Python.

Great job! and thanks!
