Thanks. I'm using that now. I'd would have preferred to use
cairo_pattern_get/set_user_data() so there can be no conflict if Python gets
passed an existing object with configured callbacks/callback data from C. But I
guess that's unlikely to happen anyway.

If there is no use for it I'll just not pass it to the Python callback then,
thanks.

I meant that the object has a reference count of 0 and wrapping it, which
involved refing/unrefing it, made it crash if I remember correctly. The example
program should not crash but show a reference count of 0.

Closing is fine with me, thanks.
