Great point. It's also possible to do Python object-oriented
programming in C. 'PyMethodDefs' are the same 'vtables'. I've found
that Python/C API is not that hard, the problem is a lack of good
tutorials and false assumptions that ctypes or SWIG are somehow
better. After `#include Python.h` C becomes very Python friendly.
