Extending python with C

[John Roth]

There's no such animal. The only reason to use an int * in
a C function is to modify the input variable as an output, and
you can't do (or at least shouldn't even think of doing)
that in the Python interface.

You need to pass your output back as a result variable. See
the documentation for the proper functions. Python allows
you to pass back complex structures, so you're not limited
the same way as C.

char * is valid, because that's actually the standard way C
handles passing a character string.
