Creating new Python types in C

[rwgk at my-deja.com]

Using ExtensionClass is a great idea if you want to sub-class
your C classes, or if you want an easy way to "pickle" (e.g. save
to disk) instances of your C classes.

I am not sure why you think that most of the C API is
undocumented. The info at

http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/ext.html
http://www.python.org/doc/current/api/api.html

is quite complete!

I very often use the "Extending and Embedding" chapter of
the "Python Essential Reference" by D.M. Beazley.
There are also two chapters on Extending and Embedding
in the O'Reillys "Programming Python" book. Another
possibility is http://www.manning.com/Harms/Contents.html.
I have yet looked at this book, though (just got it two
days ago).
