Thanks for the tip, so I should do this:

static PyObject* Py_ReallyWildFunc (PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
    double x,y,z ;
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "ddd",&x,&y,&z)) {
        return (NULL) ;
    }

    ...do some really wild stuff with x,y,z...

    Py_INCREF (Py_None) ;
    return (Py_None) ;
}

?
