I think I know where the problem is but I'm unsure how to fix it. When I call
Register_Handler(...) from python via callback.setHandler1(callback1) this only
seems to affect pythons ability to trigger an "event" in c. PyObject *Handler
is always NULL even after I call Register_Handler(...). I thought there was
some magic here that was assigning the pointer *Handler to my python callback1
handler so it could be triggered from c?
