how does python invoke an external C function??

[Ken Seehof]

That's the easy part.  Same as calling a python function.  If your
function is called "spam" in an extension module called "eggs", you
import eggs and call eggs.spam.

>>> import eggs
>>> eggs.spam()

Probably the question you should be asking is: "How do I write an
external C function?"

I refer you to the "extending and embedding" section of your favorite
python book.  You are interested in "extending" which means "writing a
python module in C".  Warning, this is a somewhat advanced topic, but
easy once you get the hang of it.
