Next: 10 Defining New Object Up: Python/C API Reference Manual Previous: 8.5 Constructors
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;
e.g. to check that an object is a dictionary, use
PyDict_Check().
