I would agree with the previous post but also add that I've stopped
calling the main function "main()" and usually give it a more
descriptive name, such as "bake_cookies()" or whatever. I think that
that makes it clearer what it's doing when used as a library and the 'if

So I guess if one *really* wanted to compare C variables to Python
variables, you could say that all python variables are of type void*
except Python does all mallocs/frees and the casting for you.

Ahh, that did it. I didn't even think of calling object...
