I'm not sure how useful I'll be, but I'd be glad to try helping. The program I
am trying to use this with centers around a loop that heavily uses various set
operations, so I am definitely interested. What files should I look at to see
what to follow? As a disclaimer, I've never tried directly interfacing with the
Python C-API.
