See the original posting. Distutils doesn't support building arbitrary shared libraries, but does support building extension modules. Furthermore, extension modules are more type-safe and more expressive than loading shared libraries through ctypes. IMO, you may consider using ctypes as a last resort - if you have the chance for a well-engineered solution, write a compiled wrapper.
