Newbie Help PyCObject

[Daniel Mooney]

NOTE python V 1.5 - redhat 7 linux
The problem I have is a signal sent to my python program(from
gtkmozembed) is
taking the argument  in as PyCObject when I would like a text string (I
think this is because
it is set as "const char*aURI" in the C/C++? program it is comming from
- (see below gtkmozembed.h)
PS I have tried deleting the "const" part in the gtkmozembed.h file and
recompiled
(I think it is set deeper inside mozilla and that is beyond this newbie)

Is there a way to extract the text part of PyCObject or ??
see below for example C/C++? that works (the way I would like to do in
python)- TestGtkEmbed.cpp

PS I won't be checking for replies for approx 12 hours as it is very
early in the morning here
Thanks in advance from Daniel   danang at xtra.co.nz

            stdout from my code
            part of gtkmozembed.h
            part of TestGtkEmbed.cpp (this works)

part of my python code
(that takes in uri as PyCObject)
------------------------------------------
from gtk import *

def open_uri_cb(args,uri):
    print "message open_uri"
    print (uri)
    return FALSE

#create window etc here

moz = GtkMozEmbed()

moz.connect("open_uri",open_uri_cb)

#show widgets etc here

part of TestGtkEmbed.cpp  (C source of a test prog that works (the way i
want it to))
(g_print line  prints to stdout a test URL eg. http://python.org)

gint

TestGtkBrowser *browser)
{
  g_print("open_uri_cb %s\n", uri);

  // interrupt this test load
  if (!strcmp(uri, "http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/monkeys.txt"))
    return TRUE;
  // don't interrupt anything
  return FALSE;
}
