In my opinion, any implementation of hair/fur/cloth/liquids/etc.
should be done inside blender itself. Python is not only slow (compared with
C), but is not always easy to use in all OS. It's allot easer to go to the
animation buttons, click New Effect, and then select hair, then split the
window, switch to the script window, load a script, press Alt-P. Also, C
code can have a much higher level of integration with blender itself. Hence,
I recommend saving Python for "throw-away" scripts.

blender
There has recently been a couple topics on Elysiun that deals with the
hair an fur thing. There's a process in place, we're looking into way
of automating it with python. You can look at the threads here:

They're kind of lengthy, but there's some good meat in there (especially
toward the end.
Later.
