Return the object at position *pos* in the tuple pointed to by *p*. If *pos* is
negative or out of bounds, return ``NULL`` and set an :exc:`IndexError` exception.
+ The returned reference is borrowed from the tuple *p*
+ (that is: it is only valid as long as you hold a reference to *p*).
+ To get a :term:`strong reference`, use
+ :c:func:`Py_NewRef(PyTuple_GetItem(...)) <Py_NewRef>`
+ or :c:func:`PySequence_GetItem`.
