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

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Thanks, I suspect function calls have got faster in later pythons so my fear of the wrapper is outdated.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
