Ok, got it. So, the 'thingy' coming in is actually an xml node object,
but i lacks the outermost Python wrapper (i recall a mail i sent a while
ago concerning this extra layer of wrapping ...:-) 
My quick fix is:

 def f(ctxt, node):

   realNode = libxml2.xmlNode(node)
   ....

I have to admit that i have a slighly bad feeling about this. This wrapping
should be done by the caller. A call to such a low level function should not
be neccessary in user code -- this is too fragile.
 print libxml2.xmlNode(not_a_c_node) will segfault ...
