Not too much, and practicaly not at all if you want to wrap procedures 
(not objects or types):
 - marshaslling an argument list from Python to C and from C to Python 
takes exactly 1 line of code,
 - handling errors takes 2 lines of code (unless you want to do 
something fancy with them; I mean just catching an exception and 
getting the error message).
 - entry in the PyMethodDef is one simple line
Bottomline: you need 5 additional lines of C code per procedure to 
make it usable from Python.
Unless you have hundreds of procedures, there is no point in using 
special tools to do that. Especially if you need full control over the 
results.
