There are a few functions specific to Python functions.
PyFunctionObject
The C structure used for functions.
PyTypeObject PyFunction_Type
This is an instance of PyTypeObject and represents the Python function
type. It is exposed to Python programmers as types.FunctionType.
int PyFunction_Check(PyObject *o)
Return true if o is a function object (has type PyFunction_Type).
The parameter must not be NULL.
PyObject* PyFunction_New(PyObject *code, PyObject *globals)
Return value: New reference.Return a new function object associated with the code object code. globals must be a dictionary with the global variables accessible to the function.
The function's docstring and name are retrieved from the code object. __module__ is retrieved from globals. The argument defaults, annotations and closure are set to NULL. __qualname__ is set to the same value as the function's name.
PyObject* PyFunction_NewWithQualName(PyObject *code, PyObject *globals, PyObject *qualname)
Return value: New reference.As PyFunction_New(), but also allows setting the function object's
__qualname__ attribute. qualname should be a unicode object or NULL;
if NULL, the __qualname__ attribute is set to the same value as its
__name__ attribute.
New in version 3.3.
PyObject* PyFunction_GetCode(PyObject *op)
Return value: Borrowed reference.Return the code object associated with the function object op.
PyObject* PyFunction_GetGlobals(PyObject *op)
Return value: Borrowed reference.Return the globals dictionary associated with the function object op.
PyObject* PyFunction_GetModule(PyObject *op)
Return value: Borrowed reference.Return the __module__ attribute of the function object op. This is normally a string containing the module name, but can be set to any other object by Python code.
PyObject* PyFunction_GetDefaults(PyObject *op)
Return value: Borrowed reference.Return the argument default values of the function object op. This can be a tuple of arguments or NULL.
int PyFunction_SetDefaults(PyObject *op, PyObject *defaults)
Set the argument default values for the function object op. defaults must be Py_None or a tuple.
Raises SystemError and returns -1 on failure.
PyObject* PyFunction_GetClosure(PyObject *op)
Return value: Borrowed reference.Return the closure associated with the function object op. This can be NULL or a tuple of cell objects.
int PyFunction_SetClosure(PyObject *op, PyObject *closure)
Set the closure associated with the function object op. closure must be Py_None or a tuple of cell objects.
Raises SystemError and returns -1 on failure.
PyObject *PyFunction_GetAnnotations(PyObject *op)
Return the annotations of the function object op. This can be a mutable dictionary or NULL.
int PyFunction_SetAnnotations(PyObject *op, PyObject *annotations)
Set the annotations for the function object op. annotations must be a dictionary or Py_None.
Raises SystemError and returns -1 on failure.
