The macros won't work in all cases, as they don't pay attention
to the different kinds used in the Unicode implementation.
I don't think there's any API you can use to extract the
underlying data without going through PyObject_Malloc()
at some point (you may be lucky if there already is a
UTF-8 version available, but it's not guaranteed).
I guess your best bet is to write your own UTF-8
codec which then copies the data to a buffer that
you can control. Have a look at Objects/stringlib/codecs.h:
utf8_encode.
Alternatively, you can copy the data to a Py_UCS4 buffer
which you allocate using code such as this (untested,
adapted from the UTF-8 encoder):
Py_UCS4 *p;
enum PyUnicode_Kind repkind;
void *repdata;
Py_ssize_t repsize, k;
if (PyUnicode_READY(rep) < 0)
goto error;
repkind = PyUnicode_KIND(rep);
repdata = PyUnicode_DATA(rep);
repsize = PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH(rep);
p = malloc((repsize + 1) * sizeof(Py_UCS4));
for(k=0; k<repsize; k++) {
*p++ = PyUnicode_READ(repkind, repdata, k);
}
/* 0-terminate */
*p++ = 0;
...
free(p);
