I dislike PyList_New() + PyList_SET_ITEM() API since the list is immediately tracked by the GC and so calling gc.get_objects() can expose an invalid list object (ex: calling repr(list) can crash). See:

The internal PyObject * _PyList_FromArraySteal(PyObject *const *src, Py_ssize_t n) function should be made public. But it should be renamed to avoid misleading "Steal" term: ownership is "moved" or "transfered", not "stolen".

We should also make PyObject* _PyTuple_FromArraySteal(PyObject *const *src, Py_ssize_t n) public.

Can you wait until the new guidelines are approved? Not everyone is happy with the term steal.
