You should get acquainted with the Python/C API, which is the standard
way of extending Python with high-performance (and/or system-specific) C
code.  See "Extending and Embedding" and "Python/C API" sections at
http://docs.python.org/.

There is also a mailing list for help with the C API, see
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/capi-sig for details.
