All integers are implemented as "long" integer objects of arbitrary size.
PyLongObject
This subtype of PyObject represents a Python integer object.
PyTypeObject PyLong_Type
This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python integer type.
This is the same object as int in the Python layer.
int PyLong_Check(PyObject *p)
Return true if its argument is a PyLongObject or a subtype of
PyLongObject.
int PyLong_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
Return true if its argument is a PyLongObject, but not a subtype of
PyLongObject.
PyObject* PyLong_FromLong(long v)
Return value: New reference.Return a new PyLongObject object from v, or NULL on failure.
The current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers
between -5 and 256, when you create an int in that range you actually
just get back a reference to the existing object. So it should be possible to
change the value of 1. I suspect the behaviour of Python in this case is
undefined. :-)
PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLong(unsigned long v)
Return value: New reference.Return a new PyLongObject object from a C unsigned long, or
NULL on failure.
PyObject* PyLong_FromSsize_t(Py_ssize_t v)
Return a new PyLongObject object from a C Py_ssize_t, or
NULL on failure.
PyObject* PyLong_FromSize_t(size_t v)
Return a new PyLongObject object from a C size_t, or
NULL on failure.
PyObject* PyLong_FromLongLong(long long v)
Return value: New reference.Return a new PyLongObject object from a C long long, or NULL
on failure.
PyObject* PyLong_FromUnsignedLongLong(unsigned long long v)
Return value: New reference.Return a new PyLongObject object from a C unsigned long long,
or NULL on failure.
PyObject* PyLong_FromDouble(double v)
Return value: New reference.Return a new PyLongObject object from the integer part of v, or
NULL on failure.
PyObject* PyLong_FromString(const char *str, char **pend, int base)
Return value: New reference.Return a new PyLongObject based on the string value in str, which
is interpreted according to the radix in base. If pend is non-NULL,
*pend will point to the first character in str which follows the
representation of the number. If base is 0, str is interpreted using
the Integer literals definition; in this case, leading zeros in a
non-zero decimal number raises a ValueError. If base is not 0,
it must be between 2 and 36, inclusive. Leading spaces and single
underscores after a base specifier and between digits are ignored. If there
are no digits, ValueError will be raised.
PyObject* PyLong_FromUnicode(Py_UNICODE *u, Py_ssize_t length, int base)
Return value: New reference.Convert a sequence of Unicode digits to a Python integer value. The Unicode
string is first encoded to a byte string using PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal()
and then converted using PyLong_FromString().
Deprecated since version 3.3, will be removed in version 4.0: Part of the old-style Py_UNICODE API; please migrate to using
PyLong_FromUnicodeObject().
PyObject* PyLong_FromUnicodeObject(PyObject *u, int base)
Convert a sequence of Unicode digits in the string u to a Python integer
value. The Unicode string is first encoded to a byte string using
PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() and then converted using
PyLong_FromString().
New in version 3.3.
PyObject* PyLong_FromVoidPtr(void *p)
Return value: New reference.Create a Python integer from the pointer p. The pointer value can be
retrieved from the resulting value using PyLong_AsVoidPtr().
long PyLong_AsLong(PyObject *obj)
Return a C long representation of obj. If obj is not an
instance of PyLongObject, first call its __int__() method
(if present) to convert it to a PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of obj is out of range for a
long.
long PyLong_AsLongAndOverflow(PyObject *obj, int *overflow)
Return a C long representation of obj. If obj is not an
instance of PyLongObject, first call its __int__() method
(if present) to convert it to a PyLongObject.
If the value of obj is greater than LONG_MAX or less than
LONG_MIN, set *overflow to 1 or -1, respectively, and
return -1; otherwise, set *overflow to 0. If any other exception
occurs set *overflow to 0 and return -1 as usual.
long long PyLong_AsLongLong(PyObject *obj)
Return a C long long representation of obj. If obj is not an
instance of PyLongObject, first call its __int__() method
(if present) to convert it to a PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of obj is out of range for a
long.
long long PyLong_AsLongLongAndOverflow(PyObject *obj, int *overflow)
Return a C long long representation of obj. If obj is not an
instance of PyLongObject, first call its __int__() method
(if present) to convert it to a PyLongObject.
If the value of obj is greater than PY_LLONG_MAX or less than
PY_LLONG_MIN, set *overflow to 1 or -1, respectively,
and return -1; otherwise, set *overflow to 0. If any other
exception occurs set *overflow to 0 and return -1 as usual.
New in version 3.2.
Py_ssize_t PyLong_AsSsize_t(PyObject *pylong)
Return a C Py_ssize_t representation of pylong. pylong must
be an instance of PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of pylong is out of range for a
Py_ssize_t.
unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLong(PyObject *pylong)
Return a C unsigned long representation of pylong. pylong
must be an instance of PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of pylong is out of range for a
unsigned long.
size_t PyLong_AsSize_t(PyObject *pylong)
Return a C size_t representation of pylong. pylong must be
an instance of PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of pylong is out of range for a
size_t.
unsigned long long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong(PyObject *pylong)
Return a C unsigned long long representation of pylong. pylong
must be an instance of PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of pylong is out of range for an
unsigned long long.
Changed in version 3.1: A negative pylong now raises OverflowError, not TypeError.
unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *obj)
Return a C unsigned long representation of obj. If obj
is not an instance of PyLongObject, first call its __int__()
method (if present) to convert it to a PyLongObject.
If the value of obj is out of range for an unsigned long,
return the reduction of that value modulo ULONG_MAX + 1.
unsigned long long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *obj)
Return a C unsigned long long representation of obj. If obj
is not an instance of PyLongObject, first call its __int__()
method (if present) to convert it to a PyLongObject.
If the value of obj is out of range for an unsigned long long,
return the reduction of that value modulo PY_ULLONG_MAX + 1.
double PyLong_AsDouble(PyObject *pylong)
Return a C double representation of pylong. pylong must be
an instance of PyLongObject.
Raise OverflowError if the value of pylong is out of range for a
double.
void* PyLong_AsVoidPtr(PyObject *pylong)
Convert a Python integer pylong to a C void pointer.
If pylong cannot be converted, an OverflowError will be raised. This
is only assured to produce a usable void pointer for values created
with PyLong_FromVoidPtr().
