I have successfully used Python to perform unit and integration tests in

When I want to test C modules (usually destined for an embedded
system) using a Python framework, I use ctypes.

I'll second ctypes. It's pretty straightforward and I've made it do
some very heavy lifting over the years. Cython is definitely more work.
SWIG makes sense if you've got a huge number of interfaces you're trying
to map and need to automate the process, but if you've got south of 20
I'd just do it natively with ctypes.
