PyObject_CallMethod(instance, method_name, format, ... )

there are a few other functions to check out,
and the dictionary could be obtained using PyObject_GetAttr,
and '__dict__'.

Remember: all these Py* pointer things are also PyObject pointers.
eg. a PyInstanceObject is also (can be used as) a PyObject.
