But how do you process callbacks to Python from C code (extensions or
embeded python)?

One has to return to C after executing the Python code, and than C has to
return to Python after executing the remainer of its code...

I see maintaining hybrid behavior (iterative / recursive calls to the
interpreter, and 'recursion tolerance') as a requirement...
