15 PROPOSAL: A Generic Python Object Interface for Python C Modules
17 Problem
19 Python modules written in C that must access Python objects must do
20 so through routines whose interfaces are described by a set of
21 include files. Unfortunately, these routines vary according to the
22 object accessed. To use these routines, the C programmer must check
23 the type of the object being used and must call a routine based on
24 the object type. For example, to access an element of a sequence,
25 the programmer must determine whether the sequence is a list or a
26 tuple:
28 if(is_tupleobject(o))
29 e=gettupleitem(o,i)
30 else if(is_listitem(o))
31 e=getlistitem(o,i)
33 If the programmer wants to get an item from another type of object
34 that provides sequence behavior, there is no clear way to do it
35 correctly.
37 The persistent programmer may peruse object.h and find that the
38 _typeobject structure provides a means of invoking up to (currently
39 about) 41 special operators. So, for example, a routine can get an
40 item from any object that provides sequence behavior. However, to
41 use this mechanism, the programmer must make their code dependent on
42 the current Python implementation.
44 Also, certain semantics, especially memory management semantics, may
45 differ by the type of object being used. Unfortunately, these
46 semantics are not clearly described in the current include files.
47 An abstract interface providing more consistent semantics is needed.
49 Proposal
51 I propose the creation of a standard interface (with an associated
52 library of routines and/or macros) for generically obtaining the
53 services of Python objects. This proposal can be viewed as one
54 components of a Python C interface consisting of several components.
56 From the viewpoint of C access to Python services, we have (as
57 suggested by Guido in off-line discussions):
59 - "Very high level layer": two or three functions that let you exec or
60 eval arbitrary Python code given as a string in a module whose name is
61 given, passing C values in and getting C values out using
62 mkvalue/getargs style format strings. This does not require the user
63 to declare any variables of type "PyObject *". This should be enough
64 to write a simple application that gets Python code from the user,
65 execs it, and returns the output or errors. (Error handling must also
66 be part of this API.)
68 - "Abstract objects layer": which is the subject of this proposal.
69 It has many functions operating on objects, and lest you do many
70 things from C that you can also write in Python, without going
71 through the Python parser.
73 - "Concrete objects layer": This is the public type-dependent
74 interface provided by the standard built-in types, such as floats,
75 strings, and lists. This interface exists and is currently
76 documented by the collection of include files provided with the
77 Python distributions.
79 From the point of view of Python accessing services provided by C
80 modules:
82 - "Python module interface": this interface consist of the basic
83 routines used to define modules and their members. Most of the
84 current extensions-writing guide deals with this interface.
86 - "Built-in object interface": this is the interface that a new
87 built-in type must provide and the mechanisms and rules that a
88 developer of a new built-in type must use and follow.
90 This proposal is a "first-cut" that is intended to spur
91 discussion. See especially the lists of notes.
93 The Python C object interface will provide four protocols: object,
94 numeric, sequence, and mapping. Each protocol consists of a
95 collection of related operations. If an operation that is not
96 provided by a particular type is invoked, then a standard exception,
97 NotImplementedError is raised with a operation name as an argument.
98 In addition, for convenience this interface defines a set of
99 constructors for building objects of built-in types. This is needed
100 so new objects can be returned from C functions that otherwise treat
101 objects generically.
103 Memory Management
105 For all of the functions described in this proposal, if a function
106 retains a reference to a Python object passed as an argument, then the
107 function will increase the reference count of the object. It is
108 unnecessary for the caller to increase the reference count of an
109 argument in anticipation of the object's retention.
111 All Python objects returned from functions should be treated as new
112 objects. Functions that return objects assume that the caller will
113 retain a reference and the reference count of the object has already
114 been incremented to account for this fact. A caller that does not
115 retain a reference to an object that is returned from a function
116 must decrement the reference count of the object (using
117 DECREF(object)) to prevent memory leaks.
119 Note that the behavior mentioned here is different from the current
120 behavior for some objects (e.g. lists and tuples) when certain
121 type-specific routines are called directly (e.g. setlistitem). The
122 proposed abstraction layer will provide a consistent memory
123 management interface, correcting for inconsistent behavior for some
124 built-in types.
