How send LIST to C extension?

[Christian Seberino]

Vincent

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

Can I extract the elements of the list into C variables

with PyArg_ParseTuple if I didn't want to work with PyObject directly??

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

(python.org docs had example of extracting elements of a tuple
with PyArg_ParseTuple but I couldn't do it.)
