Take a look at Cython, a Python-like language that supports native calls to
and from C/C++ code. It translates your code into very efficient C code, so
the wrapping code tends to be very fast (often faster than hand written C
code).

Here are a couple of examples:

There's also the "ctypes" package in the standard library, which is usable
for simple wrapping cases that are not performance critical.
