The only parts it makes sense to leave in C are the
time critical parts.  Many time critical parts may be
redesigned to use a smarter algorithm at a high level.
 If your code isn't OO in design, you'll want to do
some rework to get the most out of Pythons OO features
anyway.

Overall, I recommend converting the whole thing to
Python and then emailing this list with details when
parts of it appear slow.  You will find that most of
the problems can be designed & coded around in Python
leaving you with a few small C functions for the parts
that can't be redesigned to perform better.
