Use of deprecated function PyEval_CallObject breaks build of Python wrapper on Python 3.13 #214
Description
The current implementation of swig_green_gdk.i for the Python SWIG calls PyEval_CallObject(), which has been deprecated since Python 3.9. This effectively breaks the build for the Python wrapper, as these functions are not defined anymore in Python 3.13. To keep up with the current CPython implementation, this needs to be addressed.

After Python 3.9, the correct function to be used is PyObject_CallObject(), as defined on the Python 3.9 what's new page, and on the following CPython PR.
