Ajouté dans la version 3.1.

type PyCapsule

   This subtype of "PyObject" represents an opaque value, useful for C
   extension modules who need to pass an opaque value (as a void*
   pointer) through Python code to other C code.  It is often used to
   make a C function pointer defined in one module available to other
   modules, so the regular import mechanism can be used to access C
   APIs defined in dynamically loaded modules.

type PyCapsule_Destructor
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   The type of a destructor callback for a capsule.  Defined as:

      typedef void (*PyCapsule_Destructor)(PyObject *);

   See "PyCapsule_New()" for the semantics of PyCapsule_Destructor
   callbacks.

int PyCapsule_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

   Return true if its argument is a "PyCapsule".  This function always
   succeeds.

PyObject *PyCapsule_New(void *pointer, const char *name, PyCapsule_Destructor destructor)
    *Valeur de retour : nouvelle référence.** Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Create a "PyCapsule" encapsulating the *pointer*.  The *pointer*
   argument may not be "NULL".

   On failure, set an exception and return "NULL".

   The *name* string may either be "NULL" or a pointer to a valid C
   string.  If non-"NULL", this string must outlive the capsule.
   (Though it is permitted to free it inside the *destructor*.)

   If the *destructor* argument is not "NULL", it will be called with
   the capsule as its argument when it is destroyed.

   If this capsule will be stored as an attribute of a module, the
   *name* should be specified as "modulename.attributename".  This
   will enable other modules to import the capsule using
   "PyCapsule_Import()".

void *PyCapsule_GetPointer(PyObject *capsule, const char *name)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Retrieve the *pointer* stored in the capsule.  On failure, set an
   exception and return "NULL".

   The *name* parameter must compare exactly to the name stored in the
   capsule. If the name stored in the capsule is "NULL", the *name*
   passed in must also be "NULL".  Python uses the C function
   "strcmp()" to compare capsule names.

PyCapsule_Destructor PyCapsule_GetDestructor(PyObject *capsule)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Return the current destructor stored in the capsule.  On failure,
   set an exception and return "NULL".

   It is legal for a capsule to have a "NULL" destructor.  This makes
   a "NULL" return code somewhat ambiguous; use "PyCapsule_IsValid()"
   or "PyErr_Occurred()" to disambiguate.

void *PyCapsule_GetContext(PyObject *capsule)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Return the current context stored in the capsule.  On failure, set
   an exception and return "NULL".

   It is legal for a capsule to have a "NULL" context.  This makes a
   "NULL" return code somewhat ambiguous; use "PyCapsule_IsValid()" or
   "PyErr_Occurred()" to disambiguate.

const char *PyCapsule_GetName(PyObject *capsule)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Return the current name stored in the capsule.  On failure, set an
   exception and return "NULL".

   It is legal for a capsule to have a "NULL" name.  This makes a
   "NULL" return code somewhat ambiguous; use "PyCapsule_IsValid()" or
   "PyErr_Occurred()" to disambiguate.

void *PyCapsule_Import(const char *name, int no_block)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Import a pointer to a C object from a capsule attribute in a
   module.  The *name* parameter should specify the full name to the
   attribute, as in "module.attribute".  The *name* stored in the
   capsule must match this string exactly.

   Return the capsule's internal *pointer* on success.  On failure,
   set an exception and return "NULL".

   Modifié dans la version 3.3: *no_block* has no effect anymore.

int PyCapsule_IsValid(PyObject *capsule, const char *name)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Determines whether or not *capsule* is a valid capsule.  A valid
   capsule is non-"NULL", passes "PyCapsule_CheckExact()", has a
   non-"NULL" pointer stored in it, and its internal name matches the
   *name* parameter.  (See "PyCapsule_GetPointer()" for information on
   how capsule names are compared.)

   In other words, if "PyCapsule_IsValid()" returns a true value,
   calls to any of the accessors (any function starting with
   "PyCapsule_Get") are guaranteed to succeed.

   Return a nonzero value if the object is valid and matches the name
   passed in. Return "0" otherwise.  This function will not fail.

int PyCapsule_SetContext(PyObject *capsule, void *context)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Set the context pointer inside *capsule* to *context*.

   Return "0" on success.  Return nonzero and set an exception on
   failure.

int PyCapsule_SetDestructor(PyObject *capsule, PyCapsule_Destructor destructor)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Set the destructor inside *capsule* to *destructor*.

   Return "0" on success.  Return nonzero and set an exception on
   failure.

int PyCapsule_SetName(PyObject *capsule, const char *name)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Set the name inside *capsule* to *name*.  If non-"NULL", the name
   must outlive the capsule.  If the previous *name* stored in the
   capsule was not "NULL", no attempt is made to free it.

   Return "0" on success.  Return nonzero and set an exception on
   failure.

int PyCapsule_SetPointer(PyObject *capsule, void *pointer)
    * Part of the Stable ABI.*

   Set the void pointer inside *capsule* to *pointer*.  The pointer
   may not be "NULL".

   Return "0" on success.  Return nonzero and set an exception on
   failure.
