Last time I looked at it, the C API wasn't nailed down yet. That's why I passed over it entirely for my tutorial. The only advice I was able to give was that if your extension is just a wrapper around existing C code, you might be better off rewriting it using ctypes.

Given that ctypes doesn't work on a number of popular architectures, including x86_64 (the last time I looked), I'd hardly call that "better off". :-(
