How do I use builtin types in C?

[Christopher A. Craig]

I'm writing an extension module that makes heavy use of
PyLongObjects.  I can't figure out how to, say, divide two
PyLongObjects in C other than using PyRun_SimpleString, which I can't
imagine is the best way to do this.  I would like to use
PyObject_CallMethod, but since long integers are types and not classes
they don't have the __div__ method.

Thanks for any help,
