If the existing code base isn't too large yet, consider switching to Cython instead of C.

The C part is only a little more than 2000 lines of source so far (and with no plan to go much beyond that, it's about feature-complete for a first release).

This might be a good read then:

Then you should really consider letting Cython give you a hand with the ugly things (like garbage collection or class definition), so that you can concentrate on the more interesting stuff.

Yes, I have read the mailing reference in the beginning of your mail... and I'll stick to C given the nature of what I have to do (especially since this is now working ;-) ).
