In general ctypes bindings are slightly slower than C ones.
Pypy 0.9, just released (http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/extcompiler.html) has a new extension compiler.
From the page:
Modules can be based on ctypes. This is the case in the pypy/module/readline and pypy/module/_demo examples: they use ctypes to access functions in external C libraries. When translated to C, the calls in these examples become static, regular C function calls This means, ultimately, the ctypes overhead can be removed completely. Hooray for Pypy! -Sw.
