The C extension can handle only METH_VARARGS
which is only tuple and METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS
Note the third entry (METH_VARARGS). This is a flag telling the interpreter the calling convention to be used for the C function. It should normally always be METH_VARARGS or METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS; a value of 0 means that an obsolete variant of PyArg_ParseTuple() is used.
When using only METH_VARARGS, the function should expect the Python-level parameters to be passed in as a tuple acceptable for parsing via PyArg_ParseTuple(); more information on this function is provided below.
