New submission from Steve:
PyArg_ParseTuple is defined as returning an "int", but the documentation talks
about returning a true/false value, and failling on false. In addition to
being inaccurate, considering that most other functions fail on !=0 ("true"),
it can lead to confusion.
Doc:
int PyArg_ParseTuple(PyObject *args, const char *format, ...)
Parse the parameters of a function that takes only positional parameters into
local variables. Returns true on success; on failure, it returns false and
raises the appropriate exception.
