See http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/dist/dist.html and 
http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/dist/describing-extensions.html

especially section 2.3.2, which notes that you can use .i files as 
Extension() sources.  Add the necessary information to your setup.py and 
run bdist_egg on the appropriate platform(s) to create the egg(s) you want.
