I have inserted a small amount of C to print the contents of com_list, 
right before the PyRun_String, here is the complete output (*** marks 
beginning and end of the script)

  ***
112 (p) 114 (r) 105 (i) 110 (n) 116 (t) 32 ( ) 34 (") 104 (h) 101 (e) 
108 (l) 108 (l) 111 (o) 34 (") 10 (
)  ***
      File "<string>", line 2
