Try:
  PyObject_Print(object, stdout, Py_PRINT_RAW);

The first argument is the object to be printed, the second is the FILE
* to print to and the last is a flag (the only flag for now is
Py_PRINT_RAW).  It only outputs the object, no leading or trailing
whitespace.

Also, you could run "print object" from PyRun_SimpleString.
