There are also several programs which make it easier to intermingle Python and C
code in various ways to increase performance. See, for example, `Psyco

`Pyrex <http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/>`_ is a compiler
that accepts a slightly modified form of Python and generates the corresponding
C code. Pyrex makes it possible to write an extension without having to learn
Python's C API.
`Cython <http://cython.org>`_ and its relative `Pyrex

that accept a slightly modified form of Python and generate the corresponding
C code. Cython and Pyrex make it possible to write an extension without having

If you need to interface to some C or C++ library for which no Python extension
currently exists, you can try wrapping the library's data types and functions
