8 the following defines used by the different modules:
12 the type used to hold a character (char or Py_UNICODE)
16 a PyObject representing the empty string
18 int STRINGLIB_CMP(STRINGLIB_CHAR*, STRINGLIB_CHAR*, Py_ssize_t)
20 compares two strings. returns 0 if they match, and non-zero if not.
22 Py_ssize_t STRINGLIB_LEN(PyObject*)
24 returns the length of the given string object (which must be of the
27 PyObject* STRINGLIB_NEW(STRINGLIB_CHAR*, Py_ssize_t)
29 creates a new string object
31 STRINGLIB_CHAR* STRINGLIB_STR(PyObject*)
33 returns the pointer to the character data for the given string
34 object (which must be of the right type)
