What would be the proper way to retrieve a CPlayerInfo or CPlayerGenerator instance? Importing * from conversion_c is throwing me a few errors.

CPlayerGenerator should just be imported itself, still from player_c:
You then iterate over that to get all PlayerInfo instances. We are removing the leading "C" from the object names, so that will probably become PlayerGenerator in the future.

If you have a userid, index, etc... and you wish to get the PlayerInfo instance from that value, you then import from conversions_c. Notice that there is an "s" at the end of conversions_c that you are missing. Also, the players.helpers and entities.helpers modules have been updated to import the conversions_c functions, as well. Those modules should act just the same as they did before. I might refine the imports in the entities.helpers module so that it does not import conversions to and from userid/playerinfo. Also notice that it is now PlayerInfo and not CPlayerInfo. The main reason for the conversions being implemented is that previously you could instantiate a CPlayerInfo instance by using either a userid or the CEdict instance. We wanted to get away from allowing multiple types to allow instantiation, so instead we decided providing conversion functions was a better way to go.

Getting an ImportError

from conversions_c import PlayerInfo

The new release included your changes from yesterday, right? Do I need to recompile from source?

You do not import the object types from conversions_c. You import converting functions:
