Take a look at Modules/xxsubtype.c in the source distribution.
It is an example of how to subtype a builtin.  xxmodule.c shows
how to make a class from scratch.  Both are out of date but a good
sarting spot.

You could also give Pyrex a try, it makes it easier to write just
a hot function or two of a class in C.  I like it to prototype C versions
of hotspot functions (but then do the final version 'by hand').
