If you need to support only bytes and bytearray, but not other bytes-like object, this is a too special case. It is easy to write your own macros or functions that wrap existing C API. Other option -- duplicate the code and replace PyBytes_ with PyByteArray_. In all cases be aware abot differences between bytes and bytearray: bytarray can change its content and size, saved values of PyByteArray_AS_STRING(ob) and PyByteArray_GET_SIZE(self) can not be used after executing arbitrary code in destructors or releasing GIT.
