Abstract

This chapter discusses functions that interact with various Python object types, emphasizing their limitations when applied to improperly initialized objects. It covers multiple protocols such as Object, Call, Number, Sequence, Mapping, Iterator, and Buffer Protocols, detailing their specific functionalities and requirements. Additionally, it includes information on buffer-related functions and complex array handling in different styles.

Abstract Objects Layer

**********************

The functions in this chapter interact with Python objects regardless


of their type, or with wide classes of object types (e.g. all
numerical types, or all sequence types). When used on object types
for which they do not apply, they will raise a Python exception.

It is not possible to use these functions on objects that are not


properly initialized, such as a list object that has been created by
"PyList_New()", but whose items have not been set to some non-"NULL"
value yet.
