Exactly. :) Actually, the easiest fix is probably this:

import ctypes
def low_change_tuple(tuple, index, newValue):
    obj = ctypes.cast(id(tuple), ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_long))
    obj[3+index] = id(newValue)

def change_tuple(tup, idx, val):
    dummy = (val,)
    low_change_tuple(dummy, 0, tup[idx])
    low_change_tuple(tup, idx, val)

Refcounts are handled by the switch.
