Well, more specifically, split it into two and export a routine
that builds a python ptid tuple from a ptid_t.

Well, more specifically (bleah) ...

E.g., the addr_obj attribute will have two references when we return
here.  We want it to only have one: when the event goes away
we want addr_obj to go away too.

Obviously we don't want to decref the event object itself.

This applies to my other "Run the cleanups ..." comments below.
