Hello,

I suggest that you might take a look at how other people solved the
same problems. The great example is path.c inside PIL [1].
`PyPath_Flatten` function creates C array from Python data,
`path_to_list` converts C array into Python list and `path_map`
applies a Python function to C array.

Also take a look at Python buffer interface [2] - use array module on
Python side instead of lists and you'll have almost instant C arrays
from Python data and vice versa.
