Also see Cython (or Pyrex if you prefer the original). With Cython it
is easy to call C functions, but Cython also alleviates the need for C
to a great extent. The advantage of Cython over C + ctypes is of
course the readability of Python and the presence of Python built-in
types like strings, dicts and lists. Unfortunately, it is still a bit
difficult to use NumPy ndarrays with Cython or Pyrex. NumPy ndarrays
work very well with ctypes though.
