Python and C

[diffuser78 at gmail.com]

I was a C Programmer for a while. Lately started to learn Python for
one small project at school. I joined a small company where they use
C++ for development.

Can we use Python and C together ? I mean create some classes in Python
and some number crunching algorithms coded in C (for speed) and
integreate both of them.

Could somebody just show a real small example or give pointers to the
same.

Thanks
