I am very new at this C extensions in Python so my term wrapper was
probably a misnomer. Perhaps glue is better or the interface that
allows the exchange of data between Python and C.
Yes, I am using python objects in my C extension.
Tell me where I can find out more about this reference counters? Or
perhaps you can tell something about it.
