Call a callable Python object \var{callable_object}, with arguments
given by the tuple \var{args}, and named arguments given by the
dictionary \var{kw}. If no named arguments are needed, \var{kw} may
be \NULL{}. \var{args} must not be \NULL{}, use an empty tuple if
no arguments are needed. Returns the result of the call on success,
or \NULL{} on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python
expression \samp{apply(\var{callable_object}, \var{args}, \var{kw})}
or \samp{\var{callable_object}(*\var{args}, **\var{kw})}.
