I agree that this is more explicit when it comes to resource management, but there is nothing that beats direct native data structure access when it comes to speed. If a "PyObject*[]" is not what the runtime uses internally as data structure, then why hand it out as an interface to users who require performance? There's PyIter_Next() already for those who don't. If the intention is to switch to a more efficient internal data structure inside of CPython (or expose in PyPy whatever that uses), then I would look more at PEP-393 for a good interface here, or "array.array". It's perfectly fine to have 20 different internal array types, as long as they are explicitly and safely exposed to users.
