Add unbounded pointer depth in pure Python 3.7+
Leverages module-level __getattr__ as introduced in PEP 562 (Python 3.7+) to enable unbounded depth on pointers in interpreted Python based on their names; i.e. from cython import ppppppp_int will now be valid.
BTW, the fact that travis is unhappy is unrelated to this PR. Would be nice if you could rebase it on latest master.
@scoder I have been on holiday for the past two weeks with limited access to my laptop and wifi. I will update the PR as soon as I get back.
In the meantime, I think this should come with a test as well. I presume that this fits best under tests/run, correct?

All fine, no rush, just wanted to check back.
Yep, runnable tests go into tests/run/. Specifically, the pure* tests would be relevant examples here since they are executed in both Cython and Python. You can exclude older Python versions from running the pure Python tests by adding a pure3.7 tag at the top, which also suggests that this would best be a test on its own, just name it pure_py37.py then.
@scoder I'll try looking into it. Can you give me some guidance on the work thats already done and what needs to be done. I would be really thankful. 👍
Instead of using lru_cache, you could just add the constructed pointers to the global namespace. That way future lookups will grab the new attribute and bypass __getattr__ entirely.
@TeamSpen210, sounds good. @HSR05, the test needs fixing and the implementation should work with Py2.7.
