There are, as far as I know, a number of tools that can help you
to create extension modules from C/C++ libraries (i.e. Python bin-
dings for the library). One that I have used successfully with a
largish C++ library of mine is shortly described here

and the documentation and download are at

Since I haven't used any of the alternatives I can't comment on
how good they are. A list of them can be found here
