Method Objects¶

Methods are bound function objects. Methods are always bound to an instance of a user-defined class. Unbound methods (methods bound to a class object) are no longer available.

PyTypeObject
PyMethod_Type
¶

This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python method type. This is exposed to Python programs as types.MethodType.

int
PyMethod_Check
(
PyObject
 *o
)
¶

Was it clear so far?

Return true if o is a method object (has type PyMethod_Type). The parameter must not be NULL.

PyObject*
PyMethod_New
(
PyObject
 *func,
PyObject
 *self
)
¶

Return value: New reference.

Return a new method object, with func being any callable object and self the instance the method should be bound. func is the function that will be called when the method is called. self must not be NULL.

PyObject*
PyMethod_Function
(
PyObject
 *meth
)
¶

Return value: Borrowed reference.

Return the function object associated with the method meth.

PyObject*
PyMethod_GET_FUNCTION
(
PyObject
 *meth
)
¶

Return value: Borrowed reference.

Macro version of PyMethod_Function() which avoids error checking.

PyObject*
PyMethod_Self
(
PyObject
 *meth
)
¶

Return value: Borrowed reference.

Return the instance associated with the method meth.

PyObject*
PyMethod_GET_SELF
(
PyObject
 *meth
)
¶

Return value: Borrowed reference.

Macro version of PyMethod_Self() which avoids error checking.

int
PyMethod_ClearFreeList
(
)
¶

Clear the free list. Return the total number of freed items.
