Are you aware that there are also packages that let you generate and
call C code from Python on the fly?  I find it most productive to write
my code in all Python first and to also develop a comprehensive test
suite.  Then profile and replace selected portions with lower level C
code with the tests being able to confirm your code is correct.

Here are some packages that take an alternate approach:

http://scipy.org/Weave

I like LLVM the most.
