My tutorial contains a topic on writing Python modules, but I assume
from what you are saying about the C API that you want to create
a C module?

My suggestion would be to write in in Python first to check you really
need it in C. If you do, go to the extending & embedding topic in the
standard documentation. Programming Python also has a chapter or so on
writing C modules, as do several other books.
