There are quite a few options:

SIP, SWIG and ctypes (in the std lib) build wrappers for C libraries.

http://www.scipy.org/Weave lets you include C++ in a Python module.
boost::python wraps C++ libraries.

Pyrex and Cython compile Python-like source code to C extensions.

I haven't used any of these and can't tell you much about them. Google
will get you more info.
