As an intellectual exercise, I wanted to try my hand at writing some
extensions in C.
This is fine for en exercise, and I hope you had fun doing this.
However, for real code, I suggest you use Cython instead. Your module would
have been substantially simpler and likely also faster.

Oh, and one more thing: it makes it easier to write safe, portable and
versatile code. As others have pointed out, your code has unnecessary bugs.
It also doesn't compile in Python 3 and lacks the ability to calculate the
averages of a set or deque, for example. Instead, it only handles tuples
and lists. That reduces the usefulness of your implementation.
