How to convert a PyObject in Python C-extension to a string type?

Question

Just can't find the right function. Thanks for advice.

You've been asking a lot of questions about the Python C API recently. Have you tried looking at the documentation? — icktoofay

I knew this function exists, but I couldn't find it easily in the documentation and had to resort to google, so I can see why the OP asked this question. — Eloff

You're looking for PyObject_Str:

PyObject* PyObject_Str(PyObject *o)

Return value: New reference.

Compute a string representation of object o. Returns the string representation on success, NULL on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression str(o). Called by the str() built-in function and by the print statement.
