How call matlab mex files with python

I have a Matlab created project which uses some c code (mex code). Now I am going to port this code into python.I don't have access to the code.

I found that c/c++ codes can call from python using cpython or some other module.

So is there any way i can use this c code with my python program. I am running my program in ubuntu.

The code started like this

#include "mex.h"
#include "math.h"

#define OK 0
#define ERROR -1
#define NARGIN 11
#define NARGOUT 2

int mxCalcPermRand(
        /* inputs */
        double * x_1Vec,
        double * x_restVec,
        double * ixVec,

This is the whole code:
