Hi Chuck

PyObject* PyTuple_GetItem(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos) Return value: Borrowed reference. Return the object at position pos in the tuple pointed to by p. If pos is out of bounds, return NULL and sets an IndexError exception. It's a borrowed reference so you need to call Py_INCREF on it. I find this Python C-API documentation useful.
Have you had a look over the rest of the code? I think this would make a good addition. Travis mentioned Contexts for doing something similar, but I don't know enough about that concept to compare the two.
I think contexts would be very different from what is already in place. For now, it would be nice to make this one small improvement to the existing ufunc infrastructure, and maybe consider contexts (which I still don't understand) at a later time. I have improved the code slightly and added a few tests, and will post a new patch later this morning. I just need to add some documentation. Darren
