I have a hard time following that, if using ctypes you used PyDLL to
call PyCObject_AsVoidPtr on the PyCObject I already have surely it would
 give me back a pointer (void for sake of simplicity) but it would be a
pointer to a new PyCObject and thus calling result.value on it would
only return the memory address of the new PyCObject?
