I had
PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s#s#i:compare", &p1, &bytes1, &p2, &bytes2)
in a program. There are not enough arguments to PyArg_ParseTuple. Does
PyArg_ParseTuple know how many arguments it is getting?
No. There is no standard way for a C function to find out how
many parameters it has been passed, and most C implementations
don't provide any way at all. That's why the calling interface
to varargs functions invariably includes some way for the caller
to indicate the number of arguments, such as a format string or
a terminating NULL.
