In that case, it sounds like you make yourself depend on the memory layout
of those C arrays -- generally a very bad thing to do.

Yes. Or at least tell us what the /type/ of that array is.

I assume it's 'Foo thearray[]', in which case you usually would return it as
a Python list of whatever Python data structure you encode a Foo into --
might be a tuple, or an integer, or a full-blown class of some kind, or ...
