Multi-Dimensional Arrays.

That should work.

A big 'O'.

You can.

The PyArg_Parse and Py_BuildValue are really for converting to/from
C types. Since there is no obvious conversion for a Python list,
you must use the Python list API (function beginnig with PyList.)

Something like:

PyObject* myfunc(PyObject* self, PyObject* args)
{
	PyObject* mylist;
	int length, c;
	
	if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O", &mylist))
		return NULL;

	length = PyList_Size(mylist);

	for (c = 0; c < length; c++)
	{
		PyObject* item = PyList_GetItem(mylist, c);
		/* Do something with item */
	}

	/* Let's return the empty list */
	return PyList_New(0);
}
