Have a look at "Cython". It is a compiler which compiles
a language similar to Python with special extensions for an efficient
interface to "C" and "C++" into "C"/"C++" source which then can be built
into a Python extension module and used from Python like any other
Python module.

In a "Cython" source, you can quite easily use C functions, among
others C functions defined by Python itself.
