  Initialize a newly allocated object op with its type and initial reference. Returns the initialized object. Other fields of the object are not initialized. Despite its name, this function is unrelated to the object's `__init__()` method (`tp_init` slot). Specifically, this function does not call the object's `__init__()` method.

  In general, consider this function to be a low-level routine. Use `tp_alloc` where possible. For implementing `tp_alloc` for your type, prefer `PyType_GenericAlloc()` or `PyObject_New()`.

  注釈

  This function only initializes the object's memory corresponding to the initial `PyObject` structure. It does not zero the rest.

PyVarObject *PyObject_InitVar(PyVarObject *op, PyTypeObject *type, Py_ssize_t size)
  戻り値: 借用参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

  `PyObject_Init()` の全ての処理を行い、可変サイズオブジェクトの場合には長さ情報も初期化します。

  注釈

  This function only initializes some of the object's memory. It does not zero the rest.

PyObject_New(TYPE, typeobj)

  Allocates a new Python object using the C structure type TYPE and the Python type object typeobj (`PyTypeObject*`) by calling `PyObject_Malloc()` to allocate memory and initializing it like `PyObject_Init()`. The caller will own the only reference to the object (i.e. its reference count will be one).

  Avoid calling this directly to allocate memory for an object; call the type's `tp_alloc` slot instead.

  When populating a type's `tp_alloc` slot, `PyType_GenericAlloc()` is preferred over a custom function that simply calls this macro.

  This macro does not call `tp_alloc`, `tp_new` (`__new__()`), or `tp_init` (`__init__()`).

  This cannot be used for objects with `Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC` set in `tp_flags`; use `PyObject_GC_New` instead.

  Memory allocated by this macro must be freed with `PyObject_Free()` (usually called via the object's `tp_free` slot).

  注釈

  The returned memory is not guaranteed to have been completely zeroed before it was initialized.

  注釈

  This macro does not construct a fully initialized object of the given type; it merely allocates memory and prepares it for further initialization by `tp_init`. To construct a fully initialized object, call typeobj instead. For example:

      PyObject *foo = PyObject_CallNoArgs((PyObject *)&PyFoo_Type);

  - `PyObject_Free()`

  - `PyObject_GC_New`

  - `PyType_GenericAlloc()`

  - `tp_alloc`

PyObject_NewVar(TYPE, typeobj, size)

  Like `PyObject_New` except:

  - It allocates enough memory for the TYPE structure plus size (`Py_ssize_t`) fields of the size given by the `tp_itemsize` field of typeobj.

  - The memory is initialized like `PyObject_InitVar()`.

  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.
