Set PyObject value from C extension

[Allen]

I have the PyObject pointers, and want to set different type of values
to them.

For example,

INT8 nValue1 = 0;
INT16 nValue2 = 1;
FLOAT32 fValue = 1.0f;

PyObject* var1 <= nValue1
PyObject* var2 <= nValue2
PyObject* var3 <= nValue3

How to do it?

What do you mean by "I have the PyObject pointers"? Integers and floats
are immutable in Python. You can't "set" an existing PyIntObject or
PyFloatObject to another value. But you can create *new* objects from the
desired values, using PyInt_FromLong and PyFloat_FromDouble.

If this is your first approach to Python, I suggest first become familiar
with the language, and later try to mix it with C code.
