 The code to call an ideal Python version of ``hlsvd()`` might look something like the example below. (For clarity's sake I'm sticking with the same variable names as in the comments above; I generally prefer to avoid abbreviations.)

 This code has several advantages over the C version. For starters, the input and output parameters are clearly separated which makes the code easier to read. Second, since complex numbers are a native type in Python, there's no need to represent them as two correlated lists of floats. That makes the input parameter y and the output parameter root simpler to read and manipulate. It also eliminates the possibility of a mismatched list-size bug (i.e. if a different number of real and imaginary values are supplied). Yet another advantage is that we can eliminate one parameter (ndata) that can be inferred from ``len(y)``.
