This one writes '[aaa, bbb, ccc]' to the console in two different
ways.

#include <Python.h>

int main() {
    PyObject *list, *listrepr;
    Py_Initialize();

    /* first */
    list= PyList_New( 3 );
    PyList_SetItem( list, 0, PyString_FromString( "aaa" ) );
    PyList_SetItem( list, 1, PyString_FromString( "bbb" ) );
    PyList_SetItem( list, 2, PyString_FromString( "ccc" ) );

    listrepr= PyObject_Repr( list );
    printf( "%s\n", PyString_AsString( listrepr ) );

    Py_DECREF( listrepr );
    Py_DECREF( list );

    /* second */
    list= Py_BuildValue( "[sss]", "aaa", "bbb", "ccc" );
    listrepr= PyObject_Repr( list );
    printf( "%s\n", PyString_AsString( listrepr ) );

    Py_DECREF( listrepr );
    Py_DECREF( list );

    Py_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

Did you want to execute some Python code, and examine variables it
creates?
