While this is the common approach, it is by no means the only
one. Python simply passes a tuple object to the C function. It is then
up to that function to analyse it. PyArg_ParseTuple is convenient for
fixed-number varying-type functions, whereas, say, PyTuple_GetItem
would be required for more complex cases of varargs functions.
