Having 2 implementations of the same thing isn't a problem, we can use update-alternatives for that. See mawk vs gawk for example. The problem with /usr/bin/<something> collision is *only* when we have 2 software doing completely different things using the same /usr/bin/<something>. So if you want to prepare the future, you could install your command line utility as /usr/bin/python-<whatever> and use update-alternatives to make it available as /usr/bin/<whatever>, though it might be a bit overkill if the C version isn't released as free software yet.
