For reference: PyCObject has PyCObject_FromVoidPtr() and
PyCObject_AsVoidPtr() -- exactly what I was looking for (no idea why I
missed it for so long?!). Ok, and it also has the note: "The CObject
API is deprecated as of Python 2.7. Please switch to the new Capsules
API." which is of no concern here :)

Thanks heaps!
