Py_NotImplemented
NotImplemented
singleton, used to signal that an operation is not implemented for the given type combination.Py_RETURN_NOTIMPLEMENTED
Py_NotImplemented
from within a C function (that is, increment the reference count of NotImplemented and return it).PyObject_Print
(PyObject *o, FILE *fp, int flags)-1
on error. The flags argument is used to enable certain printing options. The only option currently supported is Py_PRINT_RAW
; if given, the str()
of the object is written instead of the repr()
.PyObject_HasAttr
(PyObject *o, PyObject *attr_name)Returns 1
if o has the attribute attr_name, and 0
otherwise. This
is equivalent to the Python expression hasattr(o, attr_name)
. This function
always succeeds.
Note that exceptions which occur while calling __getattr__()
and
__getattribute__()
methods will get suppressed.
To get error reporting use PyObject_GetAttr()
instead.
PyObject_HasAttrString
(PyObject *o, const char *attr_name)Returns 1
if o has the attribute attr_name, and 0
otherwise. This
is equivalent to the Python expression hasattr(o, attr_name)
. This function
always succeeds.
Note that exceptions which occur while calling __getattr__()
and
__getattribute__()
methods and creating a temporary string object
will get suppressed.
To get error reporting use PyObject_GetAttrString()
instead.
PyObject_GetAttr
(PyObject *o, PyObject *attr_name)Return value: New reference.
Retrieve an attribute named attr_name from object o. Returns the attribute
value on success, or NULL
on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python
expression o.attr_name
.
PyObject_GetAttrString
(PyObject *o, const char *attr_name)Return value: New reference.
Retrieve an attribute named attr_name from object o. Returns the attribute
value on success, or NULL
on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python
expression o.attr_name
.
PyObject_GenericGetAttr
(PyObject *o, PyObject *name)Return value: New reference.
Generic attribute getter function that is meant to be put into a type
object’s tp_getattro
slot. It looks for a descriptor in the dictionary
of classes in the object’s MRO as well as an attribute in the object’s
__dict__
(if present). As outlined in Implementing Descriptors,
data descriptors take preference over instance attributes, while non-data
descriptors don’t. Otherwise, an AttributeError
is raised.
PyObject_SetAttr
(PyObject *o, PyObject *attr_name, PyObject *v)Set the value of the attribute named attr_name, for object o, to the value
v. Raise an exception and return -1
on failure;
return 0
on success. This is the equivalent of the Python statement
o.attr_name = v
.
If v is NULL
, the attribute is deleted, however this feature is
deprecated in favour of using PyObject_DelAttr()
.
PyObject_SetAttrString
(PyObject *o, const char *attr_name, PyObject *v)Set the value of the attribute named attr_name, for object o, to the value
v. Raise an exception and return -1
on failure;
return 0
on success. This is the equivalent of the Python statement
o.attr_name = v
.
If v is NULL
, the attribute is deleted, however this feature is
deprecated in favour of using PyObject_DelAttrString()
.
PyObject_GenericSetAttr
(PyObject *o, PyObject *name, PyObject *value)tp_setattro
slot. It looks for a data descriptor in the dictionary of classes in the object’s MRO, and if found it takes preference over setting or deleting the attribute in the instance dictionary. Otherwise, the attribute is set or deleted in the object’s __dict__
(if present). On success, 0
is returned, otherwise an AttributeError
is raised and -1
is returned.PyObject_DelAttr
(PyObject *o, PyObject *attr_name)-1
on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python statement del o.attr_name
.PyObject_DelAttrString
(PyObject *o, const char *attr_name)-1
on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python statement del o.attr_name
.PyObject_GenericGetDict
(PyObject *o, void *context)Return value: New reference.
A generic implementation for the getter of a __dict__
descriptor. It
creates the dictionary if necessary.
New in version 3.3.
PyObject_GenericSetDict
(PyObject *o, PyObject *value, void *context)A generic implementation for the setter of a __dict__
descriptor. This
implementation does not allow the dictionary to be deleted.
New in version 3.3.
PyObject_RichCompare
(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2, int opid)Return value: New reference.
Compare the values of o1 and o2 using the operation specified by opid,
which must be one of Py_LT
, Py_LE
, Py_EQ
,
Py_NE
, Py_GT
, or Py_GE
, corresponding to <
,
<=
, ==
, !=
, >
, or >=
respectively. This is the equivalent of
the Python expression o1 op o2
, where op
is the operator corresponding
to opid. Returns the value of the comparison on success, or NULL
on failure.
PyObject_RichCompareBool
(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2, int opid)Py_LT
, Py_LE
, Py_EQ
, Py_NE
, Py_GT
, or Py_GE
, corresponding to <
, <=
, ==
, !=
, >
, or >=
respectively. Returns -1
on error, 0
if the result is false, 1
otherwise. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o1 op o2
, where op
is the operator corresponding to opid.Note
If o1 and o2 are the same object, PyObject_RichCompareBool()
will always return 1
for Py_EQ
and 0
for Py_NE
.
PyObject_Repr
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
Compute a string representation of object o. Returns the string
representation on success, NULL
on failure. This is the equivalent of the
Python expression repr(o)
. Called by the repr()
built-in function.
Changed in version 3.4: This function now includes a debug assertion to help ensure that it does not silently discard an active exception.
PyObject_ASCII
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
As PyObject_Repr()
, compute a string representation of object o, but
escape the non-ASCII characters in the string returned by
PyObject_Repr()
with \x
, \u
or \U
escapes. This generates
a string similar to that returned by PyObject_Repr()
in Python 2.
Called by the ascii()
built-in function.
PyObject_Str
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
Compute a string representation of object o. Returns the string
representation on success, NULL
on failure. This is the equivalent of the
Python expression str(o)
. Called by the str()
built-in function
and, therefore, by the print()
function.
Changed in version 3.4: This function now includes a debug assertion to help ensure that it does not silently discard an active exception.
PyObject_Bytes
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
Compute a bytes representation of object o. NULL
is returned on
failure and a bytes object on success. This is equivalent to the Python
expression bytes(o)
, when o is not an integer. Unlike bytes(o)
,
a TypeError is raised when o is an integer instead of a zero-initialized
bytes object.
PyObject_IsSubclass
(PyObject *derived, PyObject *cls)Return 1
if the class derived is identical to or derived from the class
cls, otherwise return 0
. In case of an error, return -1
.
If cls is a tuple, the check will be done against every entry in cls.
The result will be 1
when at least one of the checks returns 1
,
otherwise it will be 0
.
If cls has a __subclasscheck__()
method, it will be called to
determine the subclass status as described in PEP 3119. Otherwise,
derived is a subclass of cls if it is a direct or indirect subclass,
i.e. contained in cls.__mro__
.
Normally only class objects, i.e. instances of type
or a derived
class, are considered classes. However, objects can override this by having
a __bases__
attribute (which must be a tuple of base classes).
PyObject_IsInstance
(PyObject *inst, PyObject *cls)Return 1
if inst is an instance of the class cls or a subclass of
cls, or 0
if not. On error, returns -1
and sets an exception.
If cls is a tuple, the check will be done against every entry in cls.
The result will be 1
when at least one of the checks returns 1
,
otherwise it will be 0
.
If cls has a __instancecheck__()
method, it will be called to
determine the subclass status as described in PEP 3119. Otherwise, inst
is an instance of cls if its class is a subclass of cls.
An instance inst can override what is considered its class by having a
__class__
attribute.
An object cls can override if it is considered a class, and what its base
classes are, by having a __bases__
attribute (which must be a tuple
of base classes).
PyObject_Hash
(PyObject *o)Compute and return the hash value of an object o. On failure, return -1
.
This is the equivalent of the Python expression hash(o)
.
Changed in version 3.2: The return type is now Py_hash_t. This is a signed integer the same size as Py_ssize_t.
PyObject_HashNotImplemented
(PyObject *o)TypeError
indicating that type(o)
is not hashable and return -1
. This function receives special treatment when stored in a tp_hash
slot, allowing a type to explicitly indicate to the interpreter that it is not hashable.PyObject_IsTrue
(PyObject *o)1
if the object o is considered to be true, and 0
otherwise. This is equivalent to the Python expression not not o
. On failure, return -1
.PyObject_Not
(PyObject *o)0
if the object o is considered to be true, and 1
otherwise. This is equivalent to the Python expression not o
. On failure, return -1
.PyObject_Type
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
When o is non-NULL
, returns a type object corresponding to the object type
of object o. On failure, raises SystemError
and returns NULL
. This
is equivalent to the Python expression type(o)
. This function increments the
reference count of the return value. There’s really no reason to use this
function instead of the common expression o->ob_type
, which returns a
pointer of type PyTypeObject*
, except when the incremented reference
count is needed.
PyObject_TypeCheck
(PyObject *o, PyTypeObject *type)NULL
.PyObject_Size
(PyObject *o)Py_ssize_t PyObject_Length
(PyObject *o)
-1
is returned. This is the equivalent to the Python expression len(o)
.PyObject_LengthHint
(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t default)Return an estimated length for the object o. First try to return its
actual length, then an estimate using __length_hint__()
, and
finally return the default value. On error return -1
. This is the
equivalent to the Python expression operator.length_hint(o, default)
.
New in version 3.4.
PyObject_GetItem
(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)Return value: New reference.
Return element of o corresponding to the object key or NULL
on failure.
This is the equivalent of the Python expression o[key]
.
PyObject_SetItem
(PyObject *o, PyObject *key, PyObject *v)-1
on failure; return 0
on success. This is the equivalent of the Python statement o[key] = v
. This function does not steal a reference to v.PyObject_DelItem
(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)-1
on failure. This is equivalent to the Python statement del o[key]
.PyObject_Dir
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
This is equivalent to the Python expression dir(o)
, returning a (possibly
empty) list of strings appropriate for the object argument, or NULL
if there
was an error. If the argument is NULL
, this is like the Python dir()
,
returning the names of the current locals; in this case, if no execution frame
is active then NULL
is returned but PyErr_Occurred()
will return false.
PyObject_GetIter
(PyObject *o)Return value: New reference.
This is equivalent to the Python expression iter(o)
. It returns a new
iterator for the object argument, or the object itself if the object is already
an iterator. Raises TypeError
and returns NULL
if the object cannot be
iterated.
