You have to use the helper class CsoundArgVList e.g:

def compile(csound, args=[]):
      arglist = csnd..CsoundArgVList()
      arglist.Append("csound")
      for i in args:
         arglist.Append(i)
      res = csound.Compile(arglist.argc(), arglist.argv())
      return res


Then you can do

csound = csnd.Csound()
compile(csound, ['-odac', '-B1024','-dm0','my.csd'])

Subject: [Cs-dev] Python api and argv
