Following up to myself again...found the solution:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
PyObject *argv; /* value from PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords elsewhere */
int _argc = PySequence_Length(argv);
char **_argv = malloc(_argc*sizeof(char**));
int i;
for(i=0;i<_argc;i++)
    _argv[i] = PyString_AsString(PyList_GetItem(argv, i));
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Could probabaly use some error checking but it works...
