There are only a few functions special to module objects.
PyTypeObject PyModule_Type
This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python module
type. This is exposed to Python programs as
types.ModuleType.
int 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.
int PyModule_CheckExact(
PyObject *p)
Return true if p is a module object, but not a subtype of
PyModule_Type.
New in version 2.2.
PyObject* 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.
PyObject* 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__.
char* PyModule_GetName(
PyObject *module)
Return module's __name__ value. If the module does
not provide one, or if it is not a string, SystemError
is raised and NULL is returned.
char* PyModule_GetFilename(
PyObject *module)
Return the name of the file from which module was loaded using
module's __file__ attribute. If this is not defined,
or if it is not a string, raise SystemError and return
NULL.
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.
int 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.
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.
