I think

-I/usr/lib/python$(shell python -c "import sys;print sys.version[:3]")

will be better.

My dead project tw-light call python code. It uses swig to generate wrapper to make C/C++ variables and functions available in python code. I think It's source can be used to make python plugin as you described.
