It's probably worth having a look at the Python source itself,
especially the source in Objects.  This is where the standard
Python types are defined.

Complete modules with all the proper initialisation code as well are
under Modules, like md5module.c.  Also in there is xxmodule.c, which
is a template for you to fill in the gaps.

And have a look at Tools/modulator, which will generate your initial C
source for you from a graphical interface.
