It happens, though -- for code whose performance is not important, e.g. initialization and "resetting" kind of stuff, a PyRunString can be SO much more concise and handier than meticulous expansion of basically the same things into tens of lines of C code...

Nowadays you can let Pyrex do the expansion for you...:-)
