A C API towards a Python extension that's in wide use; an analog to the NumPy C API in a different domain. Something like a web server or database Python extension module which also exports a C API for writing other Python extension modules against it. I'm not even sure if such a thing exists, in which case NumPy would indeed be a special case.
