7.5.2 Module Objects
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)
-
Returns true if its argument is a module object.
- PyObject* PyModule_New (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.
- 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.
