[HELP] From Python OOP to C (vlemmy.net)

Hello there, fellow programmers! I am an Aeronautical Engineering student who is doing research on Multidisciplinary Optimization (MDO) since the beginning of this year.

All the code I've written so far is in Python, but I want to move it to C so I can learn more about low level programming and so I can have more control over what my code actually does (since it is an MDO code, it needs to be very optimized because every 0.5 seconds added to each iteration add 500 seconds over 1000 iterations (9 minutes!)). I am taking an online course on C from edX, but I still cannot understand how to actually substitute objects for C compliant code. The main problem is that my original code uses lots of objects, and I simply do not know how to eliminate objects from my code.

Can someone help me? Any help is welcomed.

[edit] Thanks for all your answers, I think I'm getting it now.

Deep down, C++ class functions take a pointer to their objects as a first "invisible" parameter.
