Ah, that's good to know.

However, when calling a C function, it still
creates a tuple of args, doesn't it? That's
always struck me as a bit inefficient - sort
of niggles at me every time I write an
extension.

Maybe there could be an alternative interface
for C functions:

PyObject *myFunc(int argc, PyObject *argv[]);

for the case where the function has a fixed
arg list. Plus a PyArg_ParseArgv function or
something to go with it.
