Extending Python with C-Libs

Sure -- it's no different than adding hooks for the Win32 stuff or
whatnot.  Just create a new Python C extension module with an API
corresponding to the interesting pieces of the header file you have.

Then your C-extension is just a jump-off point where Python objects
come in, you convert them to whatever the C-library needs, and you
provide a valid Python-style return type.

Review the examples in the source code for details, or see Mark Lutz's
"Programming Python" book.
