It works the very same way: pval will be a class the class instance
object that result was assigned to.

I don't know what you want to do with that result, just tell us how
you would process the result in Python, and we tell you how to write
that in C. E.g. if you were doing

   print result.counter

then in C, this would read

   PyObject *counter = PyObject_GetAttrString(pval, "counter");
