You are doing something wrong. As getSumChiSquare is a METH_NOARGS
method, it shouldn't have a PyObject*args argument.

However, python-dev really isn't the place to get urgent help if
"there is intense time pressure to get the next release of our product
(http://www.goombah.com) ready". Instead, if you need help in this
case, you should hire somebody.
