You can't, just as if you have a python function you have to return
the changed objects:
   def Hello(somestring, someint):
       ...
	   return (somestring_changed, someint_changed)
you have to do the same from C, e.g.,
	return Py_BuildValue("s#", newstring, newint)

All of your Python callable functions need to return a PyObject *
referring to a Python object (or 0 to indicate an exception has been
raised).
