And that would trip up a -Werror compilation, so I'm glad to see you
changed it in v3.

Is PyObject_IsTrue() available in the version of python present on RHEL
5?  If so, I'd be in favor of a followup cleanup patch that removes all
our hacks in favor of the python glue code that does the same thing.
And even if not, we should write a decent wrapper in our own
typewrappers.c, so that the rest of our code doesn't have to look so
ugly with so much copy-and-paste.
