How to use ParseTuple with unknown number of args?

[ondekoza]

Hi,

I am embedding python in a large application, written in C. To allow
access to
the internals of the app, I embedded python as recommended by the
`extending and embedding'-document on python.org. Most functions that
are now callable from python have fixed number of args and are easy
to parse with ParseTuple.

Now I want to be able to add a function to add array data and I cannot
figure out
how this is done.

The resulting python script should look like this.

import embedded_module as em
em.mysimplecall(5)
em.anothersimplecall(4.5)
d=[1,2,3,4,5]
em.arraycall(d)
d.append(99)
em.arraycall(d)

The C-program should be able to retrieve the array, regardless of its
length.
I suspect it must be done using "O" or "O!", but I cannot find any
examples.
