Actually, no, they aren't the same. PyObject_GetAttrString takes a PyObject
pointer and a char pointer, whereas PyObject_GetAttr takes two PyObject
pointers: the second argument should be a PyString, which is then turned
into a char pointer (using PyString_AS_STRING) and passed to
PyObject_GetAttrString.
