indeed. The function call overhead there looks pretty small so perhaps that's 
the way forward.

Thanks, I suspect function calls have got faster in later pythons so my fear of 
the wrapper is outdated.

As others have pointed out I should probably be creating a method in C then I 
should be able to do something like


class A:
      def meth(self):
        .....

from extension import c_dummy_class

A.meth = c_dummy_class.c_meth
