You need to learn how to write a C external module for
python. There is information online at http://www.python.org,
but _Essential Python Reference_ is more thorough. Alternately,
if you're pretty good at C, you might get the python source
distribution and take a gander through a few of the objects.
The first one you should look at is xxobject.c, which is nothing
more than a skeletal implemenation of an external C module from
which you can start your efforts.

For one simple external C function, you should find it pretty
trivial, IMO.
