Please check out Cython. It makes it very easy to wrap C code.

This is adapted from the documentation on calling external C functions:

cdef extern from "math.h":
    double sin(double)

def pysin(x):
    return sin(x)

You could then call pysin from the compiled module like a normal Python module.
