newbie writing an extention...

[Michael Gilfix]

  There are many ways to approach this problem. One is to use
SWIG (search google). Or, you can create your own custom bindings
(if the project is small, or the code hasn't been written yet,
this might be the way to go). Check out the documentation at:
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/api/api.html.

  You'll probably want to create a new python type that corresponds
to your struct and then pass that type in to the python function as a
PyObject. The documentation offers some good examples.
