This section describes these structures and how they are used. All Python objects ultimately share a small number of fields at the beginning of the object's representation in memory. These are represented by the [`PyObject`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") and [`PyVarObject`](#c.PyVarObject "PyVarObject") types, which are defined, in turn, by the expansions of some macros also used, whether directly or indirectly, in the definition of all other Python objects. `PyObject`All object types are extensions of this type. This is a type which contains the information Python needs to treat a pointer to an object as an object. In a normal "release" build, it contains only the object's reference count and a pointer to the corresponding type object. Nothing is actually declared to be a [`PyObject`](#c.PyObject "PyObject"), but every pointer to a Python object can be cast to a [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject"). Access to the members must be done by using the macros [`Py_REFCNT`](#c.Py_REFCNT "Py_REFCNT") and [`Py_TYPE`](#c.Py_TYPE "Py_TYPE"). `PyVarObject`This is an extension of [`PyObject`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") that adds the `ob_size`field. This is only used for objects that have some notion of *length*. This type does not often appear in the Python/C API. Access to the members must be done by using the macros [`Py_REFCNT`](#c.Py_REFCNT "Py_REFCNT"), [`Py_TYPE`](#c.Py_TYPE "Py_TYPE"), and [`Py_SIZE`](#c.Py_SIZE "Py_SIZE"). `PyObject_HEAD`This is a macro used when declaring new types which represent objects without a varying length. The PyObject\_HEAD macro expands to: ``` PyObject ob_base; ``` See documentation of [`PyObject`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") above. `PyObject_VAR_HEAD`This is a macro used when declaring new types which represent objects with a length that varies from instance to instance. The PyObject\_VAR\_HEAD macro expands to: ``` PyVarObject ob_base; ``` See documentation of [`PyVarObject`](#c.PyVarObject "PyVarObject") above. `Py_TYPE`(o)This macro is used to access the `ob_type` member of a Python object. It expands to: ``` (((PyObject*)(o))->ob_type) ``` `Py_REFCNT`(o)This macro is used to access the `ob_refcnt` member of a Python object. It expands to: ``` (((PyObject*)(o))->ob_refcnt) ``` `Py_SIZE`(o)This macro is used to access the `ob_size` member of a Python object. It expands to: ``` (((PyVarObject*)(o))->ob_size) ``` `PyObject_HEAD_INIT`(type)This is a macro which expands to initialization values for a new [`PyObject`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") type. This macro expands to: ``` _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT 1, type, ``` `PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT`(type, size)This is a macro which expands to initialization values for a new [`PyVarObject`](#c.PyVarObject "PyVarObject") type, including the `ob_size` field. This macro expands to: ``` _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT 1, type, size, ``` `PyCFunction`Type of the functions used to implement most Python callables in C. Functions of this type take two [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") parameters and return one such value. If the return value is *NULL*, an exception shall have been set. If not *NULL*, the return value is interpreted as the return value of the function as exposed in Python. The function must return a new reference. `PyCFunctionWithKeywords`Type of the functions used to implement Python callables in C that take keyword arguments: they take three [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") parameters and return one such value. See [`PyCFunction`](#c.PyCFunction "PyCFunction") above for the meaning of the return value. `PyMethodDef`Structure used to describe a method of an extension type. This structure has four fields: Field C 类型 意义 `ml_name` const char \* name of the method `ml_meth` PyCFunction pointer to the C implementation `ml_flags` int flag bits indicating how the call should be constructed `ml_doc` const char \* points to the contents of the docstring The `ml_meth` is a C function pointer. The functions may be of different types, but they always return [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject"). If the function is not of the [`PyCFunction`](#c.PyCFunction "PyCFunction"), the compiler will require a cast in the method table. Even though [`PyCFunction`](#c.PyCFunction "PyCFunction") defines the first parameter as [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject"), it is common that the method implementation uses the specific C type of the *self* object. The `ml_flags` field is a bitfield which can include the following flags. The individual flags indicate either a calling convention or a binding convention. Of the calling convention flags, only [`METH_VARARGS`](#METH_VARARGS "METH_VARARGS") and [`METH_KEYWORDS`](#METH_KEYWORDS "METH_KEYWORDS") can be combined. Any of the calling convention flags can be combined with a binding flag. `METH_VARARGS`This is the typical calling convention, where the methods have the type [`PyCFunction`](#c.PyCFunction "PyCFunction"). The function expects two [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") values. The first one is the *self* object for methods; for module functions, it is the module object. The second parameter (often called *args*) is a tuple object representing all arguments. This parameter is typically processed using [`PyArg_ParseTuple()`](arg.xhtml#c.PyArg_ParseTuple "PyArg_ParseTuple") or [`PyArg_UnpackTuple()`](arg.xhtml#c.PyArg_UnpackTuple "PyArg_UnpackTuple"). `METH_KEYWORDS`Methods with these flags must be of type [`PyCFunctionWithKeywords`](#c.PyCFunctionWithKeywords "PyCFunctionWithKeywords"). The function expects three parameters: *self*, *args*, and a dictionary of all the keyword arguments. The flag must be combined with [`METH_VARARGS`](#METH_VARARGS "METH_VARARGS"), and the parameters are typically processed using [`PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords()`](arg.xhtml#c.PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords "PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords"). `METH_NOARGS`Methods without parameters don't need to check whether arguments are given if they are listed with the [`METH_NOARGS`](#METH_NOARGS "METH_NOARGS") flag. They need to be of type [`PyCFunction`](#c.PyCFunction "PyCFunction"). The first parameter is typically named *self* and will hold a reference to the module or object instance. In all cases the second parameter will be *NULL*. `METH_O`Methods with a single object argument can be listed with the [`METH_O`](#METH_O "METH_O")flag, instead of invoking [`PyArg_ParseTuple()`](arg.xhtml#c.PyArg_ParseTuple "PyArg_ParseTuple") with a `"O"` argument. They have the type [`PyCFunction`](#c.PyCFunction "PyCFunction"), with the *self* parameter, and a [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") parameter representing the single argument. These two constants are not used to indicate the calling convention but the binding when use with methods of classes. These may not be used for functions defined for modules. At most one of these flags may be set for any given method. `METH_CLASS`The method will be passed the type object as the first parameter rather than an instance of the type. This is used to create *class methods*, similar to what is created when using the [`classmethod()`](../library/functions.xhtml#classmethod "classmethod") built-in function. `METH_STATIC`The method will be passed *NULL* as the first parameter rather than an instance of the type. This is used to create *static methods*, similar to what is created when using the [`staticmethod()`](../library/functions.xhtml#staticmethod "staticmethod") built-in function. One other constant controls whether a method is loaded in place of another definition with the same method name. `METH_COEXIST`The method will be loaded in place of existing definitions. Without *METH\_COEXIST*, the default is to skip repeated definitions. Since slot wrappers are loaded before the method table, the existence of a *sq\_contains* slot, for example, would generate a wrapped method named [`__contains__()`](../reference/datamodel.xhtml#object.__contains__ "object.__contains__") and preclude the loading of a corresponding PyCFunction with the same name. With the flag defined, the PyCFunction will be loaded in place of the wrapper object and will co-exist with the slot. This is helpful because calls to PyCFunctions are optimized more than wrapper object calls. `PyMemberDef`Structure which describes an attribute of a type which corresponds to a C struct member. Its fields are: Field C 类型 意义 `name` const char \* name of the member `type` int the type of the member in the C struct `offset` Py\_ssize\_t the offset in bytes that the member is located on the type's object struct `flags` int flag bits indicating if the field should be read-only or writable `doc` const char \* points to the contents of the docstring `type` can be one of many `T_` macros corresponding to various C types. When the member is accessed in Python, it will be converted to the equivalent Python type. Macro name C数据类型 T\_SHORT short T\_INT int T\_LONG 长整型 T\_FLOAT float T\_DOUBLE double T\_STRING const char \* T\_OBJECT PyObject \* T\_OBJECT\_EX PyObject \* T\_CHAR char T\_BYTE char T\_UBYTE unsigned char T\_UINT 无符号整型 T\_USHORT unsigned short T\_ULONG 无符号长整型 T\_BOOL char T\_LONGLONG long long T\_ULONGLONG 无符号 long long T\_PYSSIZET Py\_ssize\_t `T_OBJECT` and `T_OBJECT_EX` differ in that `T_OBJECT` returns `None` if the member is *NULL* and `T_OBJECT_EX` raises an [`AttributeError`](../library/exceptions.xhtml#AttributeError "AttributeError"). Try to use `T_OBJECT_EX` over `T_OBJECT` because `T_OBJECT_EX`handles use of the [`del`](../reference/simple_stmts.xhtml#del) statement on that attribute more correctly than `T_OBJECT`. `flags` can be `0` for write and read access or `READONLY` for read-only access. Using `T_STRING` for [`type`](../library/functions.xhtml#type "type") implies `READONLY`. `T_STRING` data is interpreted as UTF-8. Only `T_OBJECT` and `T_OBJECT_EX`members can be deleted. (They are set to *NULL*). `PyGetSetDef`Structure to define property-like access for a type. See also description of the [`PyTypeObject.tp_getset`](typeobj.xhtml#c.PyTypeObject.tp_getset "PyTypeObject.tp_getset") slot. Field C 类型 意义 name const char \* attribute name get getter C Function to get the attribute set setter optional C function to set or delete the attribute, if omitted the attribute is readonly doc const char \* optional docstring closure void \* optional function pointer, providing additional data for getter and setter The `get` function takes one [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") parameter (the instance) and a function pointer (the associated `closure`): ``` typedef PyObject *(*getter)(PyObject *, void *); ``` It should return a new reference on success or *NULL* with a set exception on failure. `set` functions take two [`PyObject*`](#c.PyObject "PyObject") parameters (the instance and the value to be set) and a function pointer (the associated `closure`): ``` typedef int (*setter)(PyObject *, PyObject *, void *); ``` In case the attribute should be deleted the second parameter is *NULL*. Should return `0` on success or `-1` with a set exception on failure. ### 导航 - [索引](../genindex.xhtml "总目录") - [模块](../py-modindex.xhtml "Python 模块索引") | - [下一页](typeobj.xhtml "Type 对象") | - [上一页](allocation.xhtml "在堆中分配对象") | -  - [Python](https://www.python.org/) » - zh\_CN 3.7.3 [文档](../index.xhtml) » - [Python/C API 参考手册](index.xhtml) » - [对象实现支持](objimpl.xhtml) » - $('.inline-search').show(0); | © [版权所有](../copyright.xhtml) 2001-2019, Python Software Foundation.
