GeezerVison is showing docs.python.org — Concrete Objects Layer — Python 3.4.10 documentation

This document is for an old version of Python that is no longer supported. You should upgrade, and read the Python documentation for the current stable release.

Concrete Objects Layer¶

The functions in this chapter are specific to certain Python object types. Passing them an object of the wrong type is not a good idea; if you receive an object from a Python program and you are not sure that it has the right type, you must perform a type check first; for example, to check that an object is a dictionary, use PyDict_Check(). The chapter is structured like the “family tree” of Python object types.

Warning

While the functions described in this chapter carefully check the type of the objects which are passed in, many of them do not check for NULL being passed instead of a valid object. Allowing NULL to be passed in can cause memory access violations and immediate termination of the interpreter.

Fundamental Objects¶

This section describes Python type objects and the singleton object None.
