546 * @py_list: the Python list to be converted
547 * @list: the #GList list to be converted
548 * @check_func: the expression that takes a #PyObject* arg (must be named
549 * @py_item) and returns an int value indicating if the Python object matches
550 * the required list item type (0 - %False or 1 - %True). An example is:
551 * [[
552 * (PyString_Check(py_item)||PyUnicode_Check(py_item))
553 * ]]
554 * @convert_func: the function that takes a #PyObject* arg (must be named
555 * py_item) and returns a pointer to the converted list object. An example
556 * is:
557 * [[
558 * pygobject_get(py_item)
559 * ]]
560 * @child_free_func: the name of a #GFunc function that frees a GLib list
561 * item or %NULL if the list item does not have to be freed. This function is
562 * used to help free the items in a partially created list if there is an
563 * error. An example is:
564 * [[
565 * g_free
566 * ]]
567 * @errormsg: a function that sets up a Python error message. An example is:
568 * [[
569 * PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "strings must be a sequence of" "strings
570 * or unicode objects")
571 * ]]
572 * @errorreturn: the value to return if an error occurs, e.g.:
573 * [[
574 * %NULL
575 * ]]
577 * A macro that creates code that converts a Python list to a #GList. The
578 * returned list must be freed using the appropriate list free function when
579 * it's no longer needed. If an error occurs the child_free_func is used to
580 * release the memory used by the list items and then the list memory is
581 * freed.
