Pre-cursor to a change that splits datetime functions that return char * off from datetime functions that return int. Right now these are intermixed in functions that return void pointers, which makes type checking and grokking more difficult than they need to be

*outLen = PyBytes_GET_SIZE(str);
outValue = (void *)PyBytes_AS_STRING(str);
char *outValue = PyBytes_AS_STRING(str);

this looks like it should have implications for the return type of this function. is the returned outValue ever used?

In the scope of this function the current assignment to outValue goes nowhere. Particularly for strings it has no use, as Object_getString ignores it altogether. Definitely confusing

Goal in the next PR(s) is to split out all of these functions that return void pointers into functions that return either char * or int to streamline things and make readable

Hmm I don't think there's a way to make this intermediate step work so closing

Nothing more eyeballs could do to help? This looked like a nice cleanup.

I think its just an architectural limitation trying to return a 64 bit integer from a void * which I think is 32 bits on a 32 bit platform, but if you see something different for sure
