# Instance Method Objects

An instance method is a wrapper for a `PyCFunction` and the new way to bind a `PyCFunction` to a class object. It replaces the former call `PyMethod_New(func, NULL, class)`.

PyTypeObject PyInstanceMethod_Type

  This instance of `PyTypeObject` represents the Python instance method type. It is not exposed to Python programs.

int PyInstanceMethod_Check(PyObject *o)

  Return true if o is an instance method object (has type `PyInstanceMethod_Type`). The parameter must not be `NULL`. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyInstanceMethod_New(PyObject *func)
  Returnera värde: Ny referens.

  Return a new instance method object, with func being any callable object. func is the function that will be called when the instance method is called.

PyObject *PyInstanceMethod_Function(PyObject *im)
  Returnera värde: Lånad referens.

  Return the function object associated with the instance method im.

PyObject *PyInstanceMethod_GET_FUNCTION(PyObject *im)
  Returnera värde: Lånad referens.

  Macro version of `PyInstanceMethod_Function()` which avoids error checking.

# Method Objects

Methods are bound function objects. Methods are always bound to an instance of a user-defined class. Unbound methods (methods bound to a class object) are no longer available.

PyTypeObject PyMethod_Type

  This instance of `PyTypeObject` represents the Python method type. This is exposed to Python programs as `types.MethodType`.

int PyMethod_Check(PyObject *o)

  Return true if o is a method object (has type `PyMethod_Type`). The parameter must not be `NULL`. This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PyMethod_New(PyObject *func, PyObject *self)
  Returnera värde: Ny referens.

  Return a new method object, with func being any callable object and self the instance the method should be bound. func is the function that will be called when the method is called. self must not be `NULL`.

PyObject *PyMethod_Function(PyObject *meth)
  Returnera värde: Lånad referens.

  Return the function object associated with the method meth.

PyObject *PyMethod_GET_FUNCTION(PyObject *meth)
  Returnera värde: Lånad referens.

  Macro version of `PyMethod_Function()` which avoids error checking.

PyObject *PyMethod_Self(PyObject *meth)
  Returnera värde: Lånad referens.

  Return the instance associated with the method meth.

PyObject *PyMethod_GET_SELF(PyObject *meth)
  Returnera värde: Lånad referens.

  Macro version of `PyMethod_Self()` which avoids error checking.
