Hi -
maybe I'm dense here -
but how is this /supposed/ to work ? Is PyArray_DIMS allocating some memory
that never gets freed !?
 I thought "tuples" in C had to always be passed into a function, so that
that function could modify it, as in:

const int maxNDim = 20;
int dim[maxNDim];
PyArray_DIMS(imgi,  dim);


 What am I missing ... ?
