definition table can specify the
\constant{METH_NOARGS} flag, signalling that there are no arguments, and
the argument checking can then be removed. If compatibility with
pre-2.2 versions of Python is important, the code could use
\code{PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "")} instead, but this will be slower
than using \constant{METH_NOARGS}.
