“Descriptors” are objects that describe some attribute of an object. They are found in the dictionary of type objects.

PyTypeObject `PyProperty_Type`

  The type object for the built-in descriptor types.

PyObject *`PyDescr_NewGetSet`(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyGetSetDef *getset)
  Return value: New reference.

PyObject *`PyDescr_NewMember`(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyMemberDef *meth)
  Return value: New reference.

PyObject *`PyDescr_NewMethod`(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyMethodDef *meth)
  Return value: New reference.

PyObject *`PyDescr_NewWrapper`(PyTypeObject *type, struct wrapperbase *wrapper, void *wrapped)
  Return value: New reference.

PyObject *`PyDescr_NewClassMethod`(PyTypeObject *type, PyMethodDef *method)
  Return value: New reference.

int `PyDescr_IsData`(PyObject *descr)

  Return non-zero if the descriptor objects descr describes a data attribute, or `0` if it describes a method. descr must be a descriptor object; there is no error checking.
