| Thanks.  Your example with "0" will make *seq point to the list I believe.

Make sure it's "O" (the letter O) not "0"...

Sure. That's the whole point... You can use seq (which is a PyObject) and
subject it to all kinds
of functions ( e.g. PyList_GET_ITEM(seq, i) which retuns the i'th item of
list seq ))

| Perhaps this is a bad idea and your way is always better???

| with PyArg_ParseTuple but I couldn't do it.)

So, what did you try?
