I suppose you might find Cython useful:

http://cython.org/

http://docs.cython.org/

In a nutshell, it lets you write beautiful Python code instead of ugly C
code full of leaks and crashes, and then takes care of making it faster
than the usual C-API calls you'd write by hand. It has some extended syntax
for extension types and other C-ish things to make their usage explicit.
