You need to pass as your callback the *BOUND method* get_path of some
instance of your class.  When you do so, the "self" will be the first
ordinary argument to the underlying function whenever the bound
method is called, so you can PyArg_ParseTuple it.  Again, you're
falling afoul of the still-surviving type/class split, and again
I think you'd be better advise to implement a type, not a class.
