Well, you can't use Py_BuildValue.  I think you can use PyTuple_New to
create a tuple, then use PyTuple_SET_ITEM or PyTuple_SetItem to fill
it in, then use PyObject_CallObject (as you're presumably doing).
There's some sample code for some of this in the 'Reference Count
Details' section of the Python/C API Reference Manual.
