> Could we have used function overloading to handle the different types? Rather than reintroducing the macro for the sake of the cast? Sorry, I don't know what is function overloading. Is it a C++ thing? Py_INCREF() must accept any type based on PyObject. At least, this issue shouldn't make the situation worse :-) Please open a new issue if you have a solution for this problem. I am now curious since I tried many things and I failed to find anything working for all cases.

Rather than reintroducing the macro for the sake of the cast?

Sorry, I don't know what is function overloading. Is it a C++ thing?
Py_INCREF() must accept any type based on PyObject.

At least, this issue shouldn't make the situation worse :-)

Please open a new issue if you have a solution for this problem. I am now
curious since I tried many things and I failed to find anything working for
all cases.
