Methods to modify python immutable python objects inplace using ctypes.
Experimental.] Warning - Do not use these in your code unless you are very, very sure what you are doing and have very good reasons.

Main problems

Multiple completely unrelated variables in a program might reference the same tuple / string / float etc. if they are the same value.
Changing something inplace may cause unexpected variable value changes, which can break code, cause segfaults, etc.
