It's no trouble. Python _itself_ is a mixture of Python and C code,
you know. That's likely one of the number one reasons why Python
and C so easily comingle: they were meant to. Python extension
writing is very easy, with the caveat that the moment you go from
creating an extension module to wanting to be able to generate
_constructable_ object instances of your native objects, you must
go to the trouble of learning the subtleties of the reference counting
system. Once you're past that, however, and all is cake.
