I thought C was whitespace agnostic. What compiler are you using? In
any case, it's probably a trivial fix.

Cython is super strict about this right now even if you're only using
Py2 (too strict in my opinion, but that's a whole can of worms there
that we're not going to re-visit at this time...) Cast to an object
first, i.e. if x is a str, do
char* s = <object>x
(Short of type checking, is there a good way to encode in 3.x and
still allow str in 2.x?) Also, you might consider whether it is worth
declaring your variable to be of type str--are you using this fact
anywhere?
