TODO pondering about allocation behavior in zkpython may be removed
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-600
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-600
             Project: Zookeeper
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Gustavo Niemeyer
            Priority: Trivial


I suppose the TODO below is referring to the "path" variable which is passed in 
as an output variable to PyArg_ParseTuple right below.  The TODO may be 
removed, since the code is right.  Code using PyArg_ParseTuple will borrow the 
reference from the calling code, since there's a stack behind the call to the 
enclosing function (pyzoo_get_children in this case) which won't go away until 
the function returns.
