I've been digging into this over the last week and come to the realization that I won't be able to finish this patch.  My apologies.

Victor, can you take over?  I would appreciate it.

The tests I have written are only for the Python side.  The patch I was working on (inherited from Niel and the Python 2 code base) also added a couple C ABI functions -- do we want/need these?  How do we write tests for them?
