What operating system are you running this on?  It works fine for me on
Linux:

bash$ ls
hello.c  hello.h  hello.py  pyhello.c  setup.py
bash$ python3.4 setup.py build_ext --inplace
running build_ext
building '_hello' extension

You can get rid of the warning by casting py_hello to (PyCFunction)...
maybe that's causing your segfault?

All the best,
