Hold off until Python 2.3.  In 2.3, the C API adds METH_CLASS and
METH_STATIC to the {METH_NOARGS, METH_VARARGS, ...} collection, and it's
easy to write class methods in C then.  datetimemodule.c in current Python
CVS has many examples.  Support for these new options wasn't trivial, and if
you want to do it by hand before 2.3, you'll have to study how support was
added for 2.3.
