I'm confused. You say you need to print the Status value here,
but then you also say you want to print the value returned
from Py_BuildValue, which is *not* the status value, but
a dictionary.

You also don't say whether you want to print this using
Python code or C code, so this gives a total of four interpretations
of your question:

1. Print status from C, on Linux:

   printf("The status is %d\n", status);

2. Print status from Python:

   print dict_returned_from_buildvalue['Status']

3. Print value returned from Py_BuildValue, from Python:

   print dict_returned_from_buildvalue

4. Print value returned from Py_BuildValue, in C

   PyObject_Print(obj, stdout, 0);
