Hello,
given I can't fully comprehend the user request (sent on docs@ as of http://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2011-September/005791.html), I'm just echoing it :
>>>
recently I embedded Python into one of my applications, which included
some string parsing.
In my opinion the doc page about parsing arguments
(http://docs.python.org/c-api/arg.html) is missing the information, that
you must not free the returned const char *, like e.g. said here
(http://docs.python.org/c-api/string.html#PyString_AsString).
It was quite confusing for my first, so I would suggest adding this tiny
bit of information.
<<<

It's already in the 3.x docs (but not 2.x):
"Strings and buffers
These formats allow to access an object as a contiguous chunk of memory. You don’t have to provide raw storage for the returned unicode or bytes area. Also, you won’t have to release any memory yourself, except with the es, es#, et and et# formats."
