You need to tell what youve read, what youve tried, where stuck.
Yes the extending and embedding stuff http://docs.python.org/2/extending/
and
http://docs.python.org/2/c-api/index.html is more difficult than much
other than other python docs.

That is intrinsic to the problem -- you are not in the python world
but the C world and C is a much harder and headachey-er than python.
And building the python infrastructure on top of that is still harder.

If you have to use it, you really need to get the data-structure
invariants right: eg http://docs.python.org/2/c-api/intro.html#objects-types-and-reference-counts.

However as Terry suggests, using something like Cython to avoid this
should always be first explored.  Heres a list

1. 'Classic' extending/embedding
2. SCXX
3. PyCXX
4. Boost
5. Ctypes
6. Swig
7. Sip
8. cython
