You have 3 approaches to expose such code:

* to create a wrapper like this
  http://pygccxml.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pygccxml/pyplusplus_dev/pyplusplus/code_repository/array_1.py?revision=1097&view=markup
  and the usage code attached

* to use ctypes module and expose "foo" address

* to use Py++ and have both possibilities :-)
