A beginner of what? Python? Programming in general?

The C code you posted doesn't look too complex, so you could try to 
translate it (mostly literally) into Python syntax and use Cython to wrap 
that in a binary extension.

Cython is basically Python, but it allows you to call directly into C code. 
Here's a tutorial:
