PyObject *PyNumber_ToBase(PyObject *n, int base)

Return value: New reference. Part of the Stable ABI.

Returns the integer n converted to base base as a string. The base argument must be one of 2, 8, 10, or 16. For base 2, 8, or 16, the returned string is prefixed with a base marker of '0b', '0o', or '0x', respectively. If n is not a Python int, it is converted with PyNumber_Index() first.

Py_ssize_t PyNumber_AsSsize_t(PyObject *o, PyObject *exc)

Part of the Stable ABI.

Returns o converted to a Py_ssize_t value if o can be interpreted as an integer. If the call fails, an exception is raised and -1 is returned.

If o can be converted to a Python int but the attempt to convert to a Py_ssize_t value would raise an OverflowError, then the exc argument is the type of exception that will be raised (usually IndexError or OverflowError). If exc is NULL, then the exception is cleared and the value is clipped to PY_SSIZE_T_MIN for a negative integer or PY_SSIZE_T_MAX for a positive integer.

int PyIndex_Check(PyObject *o)

Part of the Stable ABI since version 3.8.

Returns 1 if o is an index integer (has the nb_index slot of the tp_as_number structure filled in), and 0 otherwise. This function always succeeds.
