Just a suggestion: another way could be to use XML-RPC. It's a
lightweight distributed computing technology. Python standard library
has an XML-RPC module. I'm not sure, but I think there may be a similar
module for C. I'm almost certain there is one for C++. Try xmlrpc.com
or xml-rpc.com and also Google for appropriate patterns, e.g. "XML-RPC
library for C". Try a few variations on the pattern, that helps.

Yet another way - might be suitable only if your Python script and your
C program can both read/write standard input/output, and one is a
producer and the other is the related consumer.
In this case you can just use:

$ python my_python_script | my_C_binary
or the other way around, as per need.
