If I may chime in here, you may want to look at how pygtk does this 
-- see gtkmodule.[ch] in pygtk.  Basically, one module needs to setup an
structure of function pointers to the C functions that are to be made
available to other modules.  A pointer to this structure is then wrapped
in a PyCObject and made available as an attribute of the module or as the
return value of a Python callable C function.

The problem with creating a shared library and having both modules link
against it is that the shared library must then be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
one of the system shared lib directories, which complicates installation /
uninstallation.
