Usually, you try to understand the Python C api in order to write extensions for Python in C (e.g. to interface with an existing C library or to optimize a tight loop). If this is the case for you, then there is an alternative: "Cython". "Cython" actually is a compiler which compiles an extended Python source language (Python + type/variable declarations + extension types) into "C". With its help, you can create C extensions for Python without a need to know all the details of the Python C API. It might still be necessary at some point to understand more of the API but highly likely it will take considerable time to reach that point -- and then you might already be more familiar and the understanding might be easier. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
