The official documentation covers this in some detail: http://docs.python.org/extending/ http://docs.python.org/c-api/
Cython is an alternate implementation of Python. It's more of a blending of Python and C. It won't, in general, run Python source code or your favorite third-party library. To run C alongside Python, you need to use the API. You can interface Cython with straight C, of course, but not in a way that will work with the standard interpreter.
