yes, that has changed in the meantime
to using the args helper class:

def compile(csound, name,args=[]):
          """Compiles Csound code.
             csound: csound instance
             name: CSD filename if given
             args: list of arguments (as strings)
             returns 0 if successful , non-zero if not."""
             arglist = csnd.CsoundArgVList()
             arglist.Append("csound")
             arglist.Append(name)
             for i in args:
              arglist.Append(i)
             res = csoundCompile(csound, 
self.arglist.argc(),self.arglist.argv())
             return res
