Pass a tuple (or list) to a C wrapper function

[Java and Swing]

I got it.   I had get_long_array placed after the method that was
calling it..
i.e.

void doStuf(...) {
   x = get_long_array(...);
}

static long *get_long_array(PyObject *data, int *data_size) {
...
}

...I put get_long_array before it in my code..and its fine.

Thanks
