I would suggest to use Cython here. You can write your class in Python
(that will be compiled to C) and then call out to any C code from any
of its methods.

Alternatively Terry's suggestion to implement a class in C and then
subclass it in Python to add the remaining methods is a good one. But
then I would write the C class using Cython so I may as well do the
whole thing in Cython.
