GNU Info (python2.1-api.info)Concrete Objects LayerConcrete Objects Layer ********************** The functions in this chapter are specific to certain Python object types. Passing them an object of the wrong type is not a good idea; if you receive an object from a Python program and you are not sure that it has the right type, you must perform a type check first; for example, to check that an object is a dictionary, use `PyDict_Check()'. The chapter is structured like the "family tree" of Python object types. *Warning:* While the functions described in this chapter carefully check the type of the objects which are passed in, many of them do not check for `NULL' being passed instead of a valid object. Allowing `NULL' to be passed in can cause memory access violations and immediate termination of the interpreter. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
