The thing is: if you have to write your own wrapper anyway (trivial or not), then why not write it in Cython right away and avoid the intermediate plain C level? It's usually much nicer to work with object oriented code on both sides (assuming you understand the languages on both sides), than to try to squeeze them through a C-ish API bottleneck in the middle.
