Just a note to clear any possible confusion :
You can't write an extension *class* in C. It is an extension *type*.
This is one of the few deficiencies in Python's design. The
significance of this is C types can't be inherited from by a Python
class. This is why classes like UserList UserString and UserDict
exist in the standard distribution. (these Python classes wrap the C
types using aggregation to allow subclassing)
