[Tutor] Converting from Python list or tuple to C array

[sessile@in-gen.net]

I need to send a list (or possibly a tuple, I haven't
decided which will be easiest) from Python out to an
extension module.  Here is an example of what one of the
python function calls look like:

  myfunc('name', 2.0, 3, 4, mylist)

I know how to get the 1st four arguments into the extension
using something along the lines of:

  PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "sfii", &str1, &float1, &int1, &int2);

But how do I get the list (or tuple)?  And once I have it, how
do I turn the PyObject into a C array?  Note: "mylist" may be a
list of lists of arbitrary length.

Thanks for any pointers,
Dean.
