pyrex problem

[borges2003xx]

hi everyone
i'm newbie

i try to compile the pyrex module:
def controlla(char *test):
cdef int limitem,lunghezz,li,l2,f,ii,kk
cdef char *t1
cdef char *t2
limitem=4
lunghezz=len(test)
l1=lunghezz-limitem+1
l2=lunghezz-limitem+1
f=0
for ii from 0 <= ii < l1-1:
for kk from 0 <= kk < l2-1:
t1=test[ii:ii+limitem]
t2=test[kk:kk+limitem]

if (ii<>kk):
if t1==t2:
f=1
if f==1:
break
if f==0:
return test
else:
return 'no'


but i receive the error:
obtaining char * from temporary python value

what happens?
thanx everyone
sorry for silly question.

You cannot have a C datatype in a Python like that.
Much better to use def controlla(test):
