The correct way to do this is to, either:

In your C code check PyArray_IS_C_CONTIGUOUS(obj) and raise an error if
it is not. In addition, on the Python side, check for
`a.flags.c_contiguous` and make a copy if it is not.

OR

In your C code, get an handle to the array using PyArray_FromANY (or
PyArray_FromOTF) with NPY_ARRAY_C_CONTIGUOUS requirement set so that it
makes a copy when necessary.
