As far as I see, you can't. Python doesn't know about pointers, even 
with the struct module 
(http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-struct.html).

It might be that you'll have to write a C extension to wrap your 
existing C code for use with Python.

If, however, you don't need any binary compatibility of your existing C 
code and you simply want an equivalent data structure in Python, then 
that's certainly easily doable.

We'd need to know why you have the 'int* c' in your C struct 
declaration, then.
