What do you want your CStrings to be in Python? Regular Python strings?
If you think "yes" remind yourself that Python strings are immutable.
I.e. if you have function signatures involving non-const references or
pointers to CString as arguments or return values the mapping from C++
CStrings to Python strings will not work very well.
More depending on your response.
