It's correct but it's probably less efficient than calling a more specialized function, such as PyUnicode_FromString():
http://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/unicode.html#PyUnicode_FromString

You also have to check the return value (for non-NULL, NULL meaning an error occurred) before calling save_global with it.
