That patch doesn't make sense to me -- the "s" code to PyArgParseTuple doesn't return newly allocated memory, it just returns a pointer into a string object that is owned by the caller (really by the call machinery I suppose). Compare other places using PyArgParseTuple(args, "s:...").

"s"? The format passed to ParseTuple is "et". At least it is in the patch I'm looking at.
