Allocating Objects on the Heap
******************************

PyObject *_PyObject_New(PyTypeObject *type)
    *Valore di ritorno: Nuovo riferimento.*

PyVarObject *_PyObject_NewVar(PyTypeObject *type, Py_ssize_t size)
    *Valore di ritorno: Nuovo riferimento.*

PyObject *PyObject_Init(PyObject *op, PyTypeObject *type)
    *Valore di ritorno: Riferimento preso in prestito.** Parte del ABI
   Stabile.*

   Initialize a newly allocated object *op* with its type and initial
   reference.  Returns the initialized object.  Other fields of the
   object are not affected.

PyVarObject *PyObject_InitVar(PyVarObject *op, PyTypeObject *type, Py_ssize_t size)
    *Valore di ritorno: Riferimento preso in prestito.** Parte del ABI
   Stabile.*

   This does everything "PyObject_Init()" does, and also initializes
   the length information for a variable-size object.

PyObject_New(TYPE, typeobj)

   Allocate a new Python object using the C structure type *TYPE* and
   the Python type object *typeobj* ("PyTypeObject*"). Fields not
   defined by the Python object header are not initialized. The caller
   will own the only reference to the object (i.e. its reference count
   will be one). The size of the memory allocation is determined from
   the "tp_basicsize" field of the type object.

   Note that this function is unsuitable if *typeobj* has
   "Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC" set. For such objects, use "PyObject_GC_New()"
   instead.

PyObject_NewVar(TYPE, typeobj, size)

   Allocate a new Python object using the C structure type *TYPE* and
   the Python type object *typeobj* ("PyTypeObject*"). Fields not
   defined by the Python object header are not initialized.  The
   allocated memory allows for the *TYPE* structure plus *size*
   ("Py_ssize_t") fields of the size given by the "tp_itemsize" field
   of *typeobj*.  This is useful for implementing objects like tuples,
   which are able to determine their size at construction time.
   Embedding the array of fields into the same allocation decreases
   the number of allocations, improving the memory management
   efficiency.

   Note that this function is unsuitable if *typeobj* has
   "Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC" set. For such objects, use
   "PyObject_GC_NewVar()" instead.

PyObject _Py_NoneStruct

   Object which is visible in Python as "None".  This should only be
   accessed using the "Py_None" macro, which evaluates to a pointer to
   this object.
