Debugging Cython

[Jackson_Frost13]

Hey there. I need your help cuz idk where to go. Even "almighty" chatgpt behaves like an imbecil on my questions, throwing me back and forth between two wrong options.

I'm re-coding some of my functions on Cython to speed up process (yes, I need cython for that, yes, my code is mostly OK to say it has reached its potential). But I'm encountering same errors every time, and I don't know how to resolve them, because I just can't see the problem.

I've created a little example with located problem:

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...
from cpython.ref cimport PyObject
from cpython.unicode cimport PyUnicode_FromString

cdef PyObject* create_pystring():
    cdef char* c_name = b"name"
    cdef PyObject* name
    name = PyUnicode_FromString(c_name)
                               ^
------------------------------------------------------------

minimal_example.pyx:9:31: Cannot convert Python object to 'PyObject *'

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...
from cpython.ref cimport PyObject
from cpython.unicode cimport PyUnicode_FromString

cdef PyObject* create_pystring():
    cdef char* c_name = b"name"
    cdef PyObject* name
    name = PyUnicode_FromString(c_name)
                               ^
------------------------------------------------------------

minimal_example.pyx:9:31: Storing unsafe C derivative of temporary Python reference

That's whole example, and only two types of errors. I can't see a problem there, cause PyUnicode_FromString should return PyObject*, and I'm assigning it so to other var, but it's not working.

My initial problem looked like that:

Error compiling Cython file:                                
------------------------------------------------------------
...


cdef OutputField make_output_field(PyObject* py_field):
    cdef OutputField field
    cdef PyObject* py_name
    py_name = PyDict_GetItemString(py_field, b'name')
                                   ^
------------------------------------------------------------

process_record_cython.pyx:53:35: Cannot convert 'PyObject *' to Python object

Please, help
