Rast_get_row() returns an integer; if you want to print the first 10
values, use inrast[0:10].

A much older version of the SWIG interface assumed that a non-const
int/float/double pointer argument referred to a row buffer which was
filled in by the function, and would automatically allocate the buffer
and return it as the result. This failed for other cases, so the
feature was removed.
