Learning the Python/C API

Aside from the actual documentation by Guido van Rossum, are there any texts anyone can recommend for actually understanding the API? I'm not really looking for a C tutorial but just something to help understand it (some kind of reference). Thanks.

Most of the books on general Python programming have a chapter on integrating with C.
Some that spring to mind are:

Programming Python by Mark Lutz (O'Reilly)
Python in a Nutshell (O'reilly)
Python 2.1 Bible (Hungry Minds)

There are also lots of tools that do much of the dirty work of writing C/C++ extensions for you. e.g.

SWIG (http://www.swig.org)
Pyrex (http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/)
Boost library for C++ (http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/index.html)
