I just submitted a patch:

Reviews are highly welcome, especially from Dave. :-)

While these could all be implemented, the only one directly supported
by the Python C API (PyObject_Call()) is the one with N==0, i.e.
object(*args, **kw), so this is what my patch includes. Anything else
requires to manually rebuild the argument vector before passing it down.
(As a cosmetic point: I'm not sure whether the code layout is ideal.
It may be better to put the additions into a separate file. Dave ?)

Stefan
