There are only a few functions special to module objects.
PyModule_TypePyTypeObject represents the Python module type. This is exposed to Python programs as types.ModuleType.PyModule_Check(PyObject *p)Return true if p is a module object, or a subtype of a module object.
Changed in version 2.2: Allowed subtypes to be accepted.
PyModule_CheckExact(PyObject *p)Return true if p is a module object, but not a subtype of
PyModule_Type.
New in version 2.2.
PyModule_New(const char *name)Return value: New reference.
Return a new module object with the __name__ attribute set to name.
Only the module’s __doc__ and __name__ attributes are filled in;
the caller is responsible for providing a __file__ attribute.
PyModule_GetDict(PyObject *module)Return value: Borrowed reference.
Return the dictionary object that implements module’s namespace; this object
is the same as the __dict__ attribute of the module object. This
function never fails. It is recommended extensions use other
PyModule_*() and PyObject_*() functions rather than directly
manipulate a module’s __dict__.
PyModule_GetName(PyObject *module)__name__ value. If the module does not provide one, or if it is not a string, SystemError is raised and NULL is returned.PyModule_GetFilename(PyObject *module)__file__ attribute. If this is not defined, or if it is not a string, raise SystemError and return NULL.PyModule_AddObject(PyObject *module, const char *name, PyObject *value)Add an object to module as name. This is a convenience function which can
be used from the module’s initialization function. This steals a reference to
value. Return -1 on error, 0 on success.
New in version 2.0.
PyModule_AddIntConstant(PyObject *module, const char *name, long value)Add an integer constant to module as name. This convenience function can be
used from the module’s initialization function. Return -1 on error, 0 on
success.
New in version 2.0.
PyModule_AddStringConstant(PyObject *module, const char *name, const char *value)Add a string constant to module as name. This convenience function can be
used from the module’s initialization function. The string value must be
null-terminated. Return -1 on error, 0 on success.
New in version 2.0.
PyModule_AddIntMacro(PyObject *module, macro)Add an int constant to module. The name and the value are taken from
macro. For example PyModule_AddIntMacro(module, AF_INET) adds the int
constant AF_INET with the value of AF_INET to module.
Return -1 on error, 0 on success.
New in version 2.6.
PyModule_AddStringMacro(PyObject *module, macro)Add a string constant to module.
New in version 2.6.
