In cython I do not know it. I coded it directly in C.

In my code I receive the pointer in input2. The relevant part is:

     PyObject *input1;
     PyObject *input2 = NULL;
     /*pointer to dgemm function */
     void * gemm_pointer = NULL;

     /** statements **/
     if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "OO", &input1, &input2))
         return NULL;

     if (input2 != NULL){
#if PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3
         if (PyCapsule_CheckExact(input2))
             gemm_pointer = PyCapsule_GetPointer(input2, NULL);
#else
             gemm_pointer = PyCObject_AsVoidPtr(input2);
#endif
       if (gemm_pointer != NULL)
       {
      	/* release the GIL */
         Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
         /* your function call here */
         Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
        }
     }
