Calling a C program from a Python Script

[Brad Tilley]

Is it possible to write a file open, then read program in C and then 
call the C program from a Python script like this:

for root, files, dirs in os.walk(path)
    for f in files:
        try:
            EXECUTE_C_PROGRAM
If possible, how much faster would this be over a pure Python solution?
Thank you,
Brad
