My question is: with Python 3.9+, can I debug into a C extension written in pure C and called from ctypes -- that is not written using the C_API?
Thanks.

Yes.
Just put a breakpoint on the function in the c library that you want to debug.
You can set the breakpoint before a .so is loaded.

Thanks for your reply. Victor's article didn't mention ctypes extensions, so I wanted to post a question before I build from source.
