I think you misunderstood. You compare the time it takes to run the function coded in C and its Python equivalent -- that difference is indeed significant.
indeed. The function call overhead there looks pretty small so perhaps that's the way forward.
But what I was trying to measure was the difference between two ways to wrap the C function:

I expect that you will get a similar result with your actual cfunc and therefore can (and should IMO) use method (1) in both Python 2 and 3 -- but of course not being able to measure it myself it may turn out I'm wrong.
Thanks, I suspect function calls have got faster in later pythons so my fear of the wrapper is outdated.
As others have pointed out I should probably be creating a method in C then I should be able to do something like
class A: def meth(self): ..... from extension import c_dummy_class A.meth = c_dummy_class.c_meth -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
