In addition to some of the other suggestions, you might try pushing
out some of your work into Python itself.  That is, your "embedding"
of Python would be both by bringing the interpreter into your
application, but also by providing a module used by scripts.  You
could then publish your entry points (not through the method table,
but just by providing a list or dictionary object) which the Python
module could use to dynamically construct whatever support your
embedded scripts needed.

This would minimize the amount of work you have to do in C, and get
you all the flexibility of Python in glueing embedded scripts to your
application.
