/**
 * PYLIST_FROMGSLIST:
 * @py_list: the name of the Python list
 *
 * @list: the #GSList to be converted to a Python list
 *
 * @item_convert_func: the function that converts a list item to a Python
 * object. The function must refer to the list item using "@list_item" and
 * must return a #PyObject* object. An example conversion function is:
 * [[
 * PyString_FromString(list_item)
 * ]]
 * A more elaborate function is:
 * [[
 * pyg_boxed_new(GTK_TYPE_RECENT_INFO, list_item, TRUE, TRUE)
 * ]]
 * @list_free: the name of a function that takes a single arg (the list) and
 * frees its memory. Can be %NULL if the list should not be freed. An example
 * is:
 * [[
 * g_list_free
 * ]]
 * @list_item_free: the name of a #GFunc function that frees the memory used
 * by the items in the list or %NULL if the list items do not have to be
 * freed. A simple example is:
 * [[
 * g_free
 * ]]
 *
 * A macro that adds code that converts a #GSList to a Python list.
