In general, everything you can do in Python is accessible through the
C API.

That will be

      lines = PyObject_CallMethod(block, "split", "s", "\n");

>     stmts = '\n'.join(lines[:-1])

That is

      PyObject_DelItem(lines, PyList_Size(lines) - 1);
      nl = PyString_FromStringAndSize("\n", 1);
      stmts = PyObject_CallMethod(nl, "join", "O", lines);

etc.
