I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, and how this relates to 
boost.python (other than the question whether you can mix the 
boost.python with the Python C API).

With boost.python you call

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(your_module_name)
{
  ...
}

While with Python's C API you would define

extern "C" void inityour_module_name()
{
  ...
}

You should use one of the two, not both. (Actually, I don't see any 
reason to use the C API to expose the extension module; there are good 
reasons to use boost.python instead.
However, the bodies of the two blocks above may contain any mix of the 
two APIs as you want.

HTH,
