Feel free to post code showing that it can be done. The extension is
RPi.GPIO, the method is "output", and the extra argument is the pinnaming
scheme (BCM or BOARD). Success! :-p

Where did you think that "static PyObject *py_proc1(PyObject *self, PyObject
*args)" came from, or why I said "I've also tried to go the C way" ?
Besides that, the subject line should have been a dead giveaway by
itself ...

Are you sure ? MRAB didn't seem to have too much problems with both
recognising and understanding what I was busy with - he posted a spot-on
example, containing not more, but also not anything less than what I was
asking for.
> Looking at existing examples, as well as the C API documentation
I did not find any example that showed me what I needed to know - simply one
CPython function calling another one. And yes, I've found multiple
documentation pages, including the "Extending and Embedding the Python
Interpreter" ones. Alas, no dice.
Most of that documentation is only good when you already know what you are
looking for, and need to make sure of its exact usage. Not so much the
other way around, when you have no clue and are searching for what you need
to use to solve a particular problem (even one as stupid as just calling
another method)
By the way, the whole solution consists outof the following:
static PyObject *py_proc1(PyObject *self, int ExtraArg, PyObject *args)
{
....
Py_RETURN_NONE
}
static PyObject *py_proc2(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
return py_proc1(self, 42, args)
}
