Hi all.
I was wondering if it ispossible to integrate C source in a python project.

There is ofcourse Python/C API
http://docs.python.org/api/api.html

But you will probably be easier off with Pyrex or Swig.

Good summary on when to use which

python project.

Yes it is. Which tool you use depends on your requirements:

http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/
ctypes allowes loading dlls/shared libs and calling functions=20
in that lib.

www.swig.org
is a wrapper for wrapping c/c++ to several languages as php, python, ...

www.boost.org
includes the boost pyhton library. this is my favorite for
wrapping c++ code.

It is possible do the contrary (integrates python source in a C project)?

Yes, of course. Have a look here:

http://docs.python.org/ext/ext.html

There are two nice tools for this:

SWIG

SIP
