Think about it this way:  if you wrote the following:

from yourExample import Fred

f = Fred("a pair")

what would happen?

In other words, you're creating a type that can be invoked from 
Python.  Therefore, its parameters *must* be objects.  Period.

If you need a way to create the object from *C* code, then you should 
create a factory function that creates a Fred and then sets its p to a 
valid value.
