python wrapper question

[Garett Shulman]

Hello, I am trying to create a wrapper for a function with the following 
prototype:
int ap_get_playlist(int session, int *argc, char ***the_list);
I'm not quite sure how to construct the Py_BuildValue. I would like the 
python function to return a list of strings. However, the length of the 
list, (*argc in the function call), will vary at run time. Is it 
possible to have a wrapper function return a list whose size is not know 
at compile time? Thanks for any suggestions. -Garett
