Take this with a grain of salt: I am *not* a C programmer, and my usage
of the Python/C API is extremely minimal.

However, I think you're looking for The Buffer Interface. Its, IIUC, the
way to read/write efficiently into existing data structures without
having to go all Pythony.

It changed in Py3k: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3118/

Again: I may be entirely wrong. Not my area of expertise. But I lurk a lot.
