How to write a new python module??

[fordie1000]

Hi,

I am not new to python and I use it all the time but I was wondering how to
create a brand spanking new module?? I know I could write it in python and
import it etc. but I was wondering how the professionals do it?? I mean
I assume they write the modules in C/C++ using their API's?? Could anyone maybe clear up the whole process for me?? Or point me to a good tutorial??

Thanks,

Depends. If it's something that has to run really quickly over and over, yes, it'd probably be done in C using that API. Otherwise? Just use Python. For tutorials, Google py2exe or py2app, maybe? I'm not quite sure here...

yes .. speed of execution is the main thing that I'm interested to learn about.
I've use py2app to build macosx applications before but they were all written in
python using the pyobjc bridge.

I am just keen to know if there is a good site/book/tutorial to show me the steps involved in writing a new python module in C.

Thanks,
