This is a C problem but this is also a Python problem.
There are no need to wrap a C function for C program.
But if you want to use a C function in Python program, you
have to wrap the C function. If the function cannot be
wrapped, the python program cannot use the C function.

In some situation, if a programmer cannot wrap some C functions
for Python, he will be forced to give up using Python
in his project.

It is a problem caused by limitation of C language, though.
