In the early days of distutils I wrote:

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.ccompiler import new_compiler
from distutils.command.build import build

opt_src = ["qp/qpalloc.c", "qp/qpmatrx.c", "qp/qpproc.c", "qp/qpvect.c",
           "qp/qpchol.c",  "qp/qporder.c", "qp/qpshut.c",
"qp/qpxlist.c",
           "qp/qpdata.c",  "qp/qpprepr.c", "qp/qpsolv.c", "qp/qpmain.c",
           "qp/qpprint.c", "qp/qpsymbo.c"]



def build_opt(self):
    CC = new_compiler()
    if sys.platform != 'win32':
        CC.add_library('m')
    import os.path
    opt_obj = CC.compile(opt_src)
    CC.link_executable(opt_obj, os.path.join("build/lib/", sys.platform,
'opt'))

class my_build(build):
    def run(self):
        build_opt()
        build.run(self)

setup (cmdclass     = {'build': my_build},
       name         = "PyQP",
       version      = "0.0.0",
       description  = "qp access for Python",
       author       = 'Berthold H"ollmann',
       author_email = "hoel@germanlloyd.org",
       packages = [''],
       )

which might be a starting point for your own code
