I would guess you create an array from C the same way you create any other 
Python objects. So call PyImport_ImportModule to get the array module, get 
its 'array' attribute with PyObject_GetAttrString then call PyObject_New to 
create your array.

There is documentation on how to set the data in the array. See 
http://docs.python.org/api/bufferObjects.html
