3. Basically.

Here's a wikipedia list, but again I have no idea what ones are good.

Basically, the way Python/C or Java's JNI work is your C code would reside in a .so or an executable. You'd load them in Java or Python, and then call a function in you write in C that matches a particular signature. In that function you deal with memory management from Java/Python, and then directly call your C functions like normal.

But going to another language adds a lot of complexity. So unless you're wanting to learn a new language, or you're trying to convince the boss to rewrite everything, it'll be a lot easier to use one of those C frameworks.
