[Tutor] Embedding C

[lonetwin]

Greeting all ye gentle Pythoneers,
     Almost a year after I first touched Python, I fell am now ready to 
dabble in experiments with emmbedding C in Python (I assume that is how one 
describes the task of using/calling C functions through Python).
	However, before I do this, I thought I'd drop by and ask a few questions. 
You see although I do (or did -- waaay back) know how to program in C, I am a 
bit apprehensive to start with the official Python Documentation on the topic 
(although I intend to do it eventually).
	I would really appreciate it if someone could either point me to a resource 
to or give me a small example of calling C functions through Python. like for 
example passing "Hello World !" to a print_this() function from a hello.c 
file.
    ....I guess Usless Python too could make use of such small examples.

Peace
Steve
