You do know that Python is implemented in C, right?  So take a look at how
Python does it.  For example, the list type is implemented by listobject.c,
unbounded integers by longobject.c, and so on.  Particularly look at
xxobject.c, which begins

/* Use this file as a template to start implementing a new object type.
   ...

All in the Objects subdirectory of the source distribution.
