Thanks, that does the trick.
The __builtin__.list was cdef extern in the c_python.pxd (shown
below), I simply commented it and the code worked fine.
Is there a fault with how I have it written, or should I report it as a bug now?



# -*- Mode: Python -*-  Not really, but close enough

# Expose as much of the Python C API as we need here

cdef extern from "stdlib.h":
    ctypedef int size_t

cdef extern from "Python.h":
    ctypedef int Py_intptr_t
    void*  PyMem_Malloc(size_t)
    void*  PyMem_Realloc(void *p, size_t n)
    void   PyMem_Free(void *p)
    char*  PyString_AsString(object string)
    object PyString_FromString(char *v)
    object PyString_InternFromString(char *v)
    int    PyErr_CheckSignals()
    object PyFloat_FromDouble(double v)
    void   Py_XINCREF(object o)
    void   Py_XDECREF(object o)
    void   Py_CLEAR(object o) # use instead of decref

    ctypedef class __builtin__.dict [object PyDictObject]:
        pass

    ctypedef class __builtin__.list [object PyListObject]:
        pass
