That's one way, and it might be the best if you
can bring Numeric's array operations to bear on
the problem.

Will your lists need to grow dynamically? If so,
you might be better off using Python's built-in
array type, although its interface isn't public,
so you would have to dig into the Python sources
to find out how to declare it to Pyrex for
C-level access.

Or you could write an extension type that does
its own memory management the way you want.
