As you can see from Zhang's post there's a difference between making soft
bindings using ctypes and hard bindings using the Python C API.
While ctypes is convenient to use and easy to modify since only Python code
is involved, it lacks the ability to let the programmer to extend Python
using the underlying C API directly. It also lacks the ability to
intergrate easy with other Python extensions. It's also a matter of speed,
in particular when it comes to iterations, like for collision testing and
drawing many objects. If this can all be done in C we are better off.
