I've used two ways of calling C functions from Python.
Read about the ctypes library here.
Or, if you are good with a compiler, you can create an interface (SWIG automates most of this task)

ctypes is by far the easiest way to do this.

ctypes is by far the easiest way to do this.
In fact, if you're using version 2.5, ctypes is now part of the standard library.
