The point is that you need to go through some kind of middle layer. Python code, by definition, does not interface directly with anything--you must go through some library/package--whether it is a built-in within Python's runtime, a 3rd-party distribution, or a wrapper you make around existing C functionality.

Well, if you want to get really technical, only machine code interfaces directly with anything. C abstracts this so your code can work on more than one type of processor. Even assembly languages abstract a little bit, if I'm not mistaken, though it's pretty direct.
