Again this is not a pygtk related question but a python specific question.

Depending on the context you have to use one or the other (usually
return py_obj is enough), it's difficult to answer in a general way.
Py_BuildValue can be used if you want to easily return a tuple by
surrounding the char args with parenthesis "(O)". Have a look to
python docs for a better explanation [1]
