It would be better to use Cython.

Unless you use unsupported C-API functions in your own code, the C code
generated by Cython will work on Py2.6 and compile (and mostly work) on 3.0
beta. There are currently issues with exception handling and Python frames in
Py3 beta2, so it may or may not work reliably for you - that's being worked
on. But it sure is enough for initial testing.
