I've never looked into extending Python with C in terms of its
difficulty, but I can say that doing it in Perl is a real pain in the
proverbial. No doubt, once one is up to speed on it, it would probably
be less of a hassle, but for a new user, especially one with little C
experience, it can be daunting.
