Creating Python Class Instances From C API

[Adrian Eyre]

> PyObject *data = Py_BuildValue("{s:s}", "<name>", "<value>");
> PyObject *object = PyInstance_New(class_name, NULL, data);

If you check out the code in Modules/newmodule.c, you can even
create an instance of a class without calling its constructor.

This can be very handy for having an instance returned from
a different class, which can't be instantiated by the Python
programmer.
