# 模块对象

PyTypeObject `PyModule_Type`

  这个 `PyTypeObject` 的实例代表 Python 模块类型。 它以 `types.ModuleType` 的形式暴露给 Python 程序。

int `PyModule_Check`(PyObject *p)

  当 p 为模块类型的对象，或是模块子类型的对象时返回真。该函数永远有返回。

int `PyModule_CheckExact`(PyObject *p)

  当 p 为模块对象且不是 `PyModule_Type` 的子类型的对象时返回真值。该函数永远有返回值。

PyObject* `PyModule_NewObject`(PyObject *name)
  Return value: New reference.

  返回新的模块对象，其属性 `__name__` 为 name 。模块的这些属性 `__name__`, `__doc__`, `__package__`, and `__loader__` （所有属性除了 `__name__` 都被设为``None``）。调用时应当提供 `__file__` 属性。

  3.3 新版功能.

  在 3.4 版更改: 属性 `__package__` 和 `__loader__` 被设为``None``。

PyObject* `PyModule_New`(const char *name)
  Return value: New reference.

  这类似于 `PyModule_NewObject()`， 但其名称为 UTF-8 编码的字符串而不是 Unicode 对象。

PyObject* `PyModule_GetDict`(PyObject *module)
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  返回实现 module 的命名空间的字典对象；此对象与模块对象的 `__dict__` 属性相同。 如果 module 不是一个模块对象（或模块对象的子类型），则会引发 `SystemError` 并返回 `NULL`。

  建议扩展使用其他 `PyModule_*()` and `PyObject_*()` 函数而不是直接操纵模块的 `__dict__`。

PyObject* `PyModule_GetNameObject`(PyObject *module)
  Return value: New reference.

  返回 module 的 `__name__` 值。 如果模块未提供该值，或者如果它不是一个字符串，则会引发 `SystemError` 并返回 `NULL`。

  3.3 新版功能.

const char* `PyModule_GetName`(PyObject *module)

  类似于 `PyModule_GetNameObject()` 但返回 `'utf-8'` 编码的名称。

void* `PyModule_GetState`(PyObject *module)

  返回模块的“状态”，也就是说，返回指向在模块创建时分配的内存块的指针，或者 `NULL`。 参见 `PyModuleDef.m_size`。

PyModuleDef* `PyModule_GetDef`(PyObject *module)

  返回指向模块创建所使用的 `PyModuleDef` 结构体的指针，或者如果模块不是使用结构体定义创建的则返回 `NULL`。

PyObject* `PyModule_GetFilenameObject`(PyObject *module)
  Return value: New reference.

  返回使用 module 的 `__file__` 属性所加载的 模块 的文件名。 如果属性未定义，或者如果它不是一个 Unicode 字符串，则会引发 `SystemError` 并返回 `NULL`；在其他情况下将返回一个指向 Unicode 对象的引用。

  3.2 新版功能.

const char* `PyModule_GetFilename`(PyObject *module)

  Similar to `PyModule_GetFilenameObject()` but return the filename encoded to 'utf-8'.

  3.2 版后已移除: `PyModule_GetFilename()` raises `UnicodeEncodeError` on unencodable filenames, use `PyModule_GetFilenameObject()` instead.

## 初始化 C 模块

Modules objects are usually created from extension modules (shared libraries which export an initialization function), or compiled-in modules (where the initialization function is added using `PyImport_AppendInittab()`). See 构建C/C++扩展 or 对嵌入 Python 功能进行扩展 for details.

The initialization function can either pass a module definition instance to `PyModule_Create()`, and return the resulting module object, or request "multi-phase initialization" by returning the definition struct itself.

`PyModuleDef`

  The module definition struct, which holds all information needed to create a module object. There is usually only one statically initialized variable of this type for each module.

  PyModuleDef_Base `m_base`

    Always initialize this member to `PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT`.

  const char *`m_name`

    新模块的名称。

  const char *`m_doc`

    Docstring for the module; usually a docstring variable created with `PyDoc_STRVAR` is used.

  Py_ssize_t `m_size`

    Module state may be kept in a per-module memory area that can be retrieved with `PyModule_GetState()`, rather than in static globals. This makes modules safe for use in multiple sub-interpreters.

    This memory area is allocated based on m_size on module creation, and freed when the module object is deallocated, after the `m_free` function has been called, if present.

    Setting `m_size` to `-1` means that the module does not support sub-interpreters, because it has global state.

    Setting it to a non-negative value means that the module can be re-initialized and specifies the additional amount of memory it requires for its state. Non-negative `m_size` is required for multi-phase initialization.

    请参阅 PEP 3121 了解详情。

  PyMethodDef* `m_methods`

    A pointer to a table of module-level functions, described by `PyMethodDef` values. Can be `NULL` if no functions are present.

  PyModuleDef_Slot* `m_slots`

    An array of slot definitions for multi-phase initialization, terminated by a `{0, NULL}` entry. When using single-phase initialization, m_slots must be `NULL`.

    在 3.5 版更改: Prior to version 3.5, this member was always set to `NULL`, and was defined as:

    > inquiry `m_reload`

  traverseproc `m_traverse`

    A traversal function to call during GC traversal of the module object, or `NULL` if not needed.

    This function is not called if the module state was requested but is not allocated yet. This is the case immediately after the module is created and before the module is executed (`Py_mod_exec` function). More precisely, this function is not called if `m_size` is greater than 0 and the module state (as returned by `PyModule_GetState()`) is `NULL`.

    在 3.9 版更改: No longer called before the module state is allocated.

  inquiry `m_clear`

    A clear function to call during GC clearing of the module object, or `NULL` if not needed.

    This function is not called if the module state was requested but is not allocated yet. This is the case immediately after the module is created and before the module is executed (`Py_mod_exec` function). More precisely, this function is not called if `m_size` is greater than 0 and the module state (as returned by `PyModule_GetState()`) is `NULL`.

    Like `PyTypeObject.tp_clear`, this function is not always called before a module is deallocated. For example, when reference counting is enough to determine that an object is no longer used, the cyclic garbage collector is not involved and `m_free` is called directly.

    在 3.9 版更改: No longer called before the module state is allocated.

  freefunc `m_free`

    A function to call during deallocation of the module object, or `NULL` if not needed.

    This function is not called if the module state was requested but is not allocated yet. This is the case immediately after the module is created and before the module is executed (`Py_mod_exec` function). More precisely, this function is not called if `m_size` is greater than 0 and the module state (as returned by `PyModule_GetState()`) is `NULL`.

    在 3.9 版更改: No longer called before the module state is allocated.

### Single-phase initialization

The module initialization function may create and return the module object directly. This is referred to as "single-phase initialization", and uses one of the following two module creation functions:

PyObject* `PyModule_Create`(PyModuleDef *def)
  Return value: New reference.

  Create a new module object, given the definition in def. This behaves like `PyModule_Create2()` with module_api_version set to `PYTHON_API_VERSION`.

PyObject* `PyModule_Create2`(PyModuleDef *def, int module_api_version)
  Return value: New reference.

  Create a new module object, given the definition in def, assuming the API version module_api_version. If that version does not match the version of the running interpreter, a `RuntimeWarning` is emitted.

  注解

  Most uses of this function should be using `PyModule_Create()` instead; only use this if you are sure you need it.

Before it is returned from in the initialization function, the resulting module object is typically populated using functions like `PyModule_AddObject()`.

### Multi-phase initialization

An alternate way to specify extensions is to request "multi-phase initialization". Extension modules created this way behave more like Python modules: the initialization is split between the creation phase, when the module object is created, and the execution phase, when it is populated. The distinction is similar to the `__new__()` and `__init__()` methods of classes.

Unlike modules created using single-phase initialization, these modules are not singletons: if the sys.modules entry is removed and the module is re-imported, a new module object is created, and the old module is subject to normal garbage collection -- as with Python modules. By default, multiple modules created from the same definition should be independent: changes to one should not affect the others. This means that all state should be specific to the module object (using e.g. using `PyModule_GetState()`), or its contents (such as the module's `__dict__` or individual classes created with `PyType_FromSpec()`).

All modules created using multi-phase initialization are expected to support sub-interpreters. Making sure multiple modules are independent is typically enough to achieve this.

To request multi-phase initialization, the initialization function (PyInit_modulename) returns a `PyModuleDef` instance with non-empty `m_slots`. Before it is returned, the `PyModuleDef` instance must be initialized with the following function:

PyObject* `PyModuleDef_Init`(PyModuleDef *def)
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  Ensures a module definition is a properly initialized Python object that correctly reports its type and reference count.

  Returns def cast to `PyObject*`, or `NULL` if an error occurred.

  3.5 新版功能.

The m_slots member of the module definition must point to an array of `PyModuleDef_Slot` structures:

`PyModuleDef_Slot`
  int `slot`

    A slot ID, chosen from the available values explained below.

  void* `value`

    Value of the slot, whose meaning depends on the slot ID.

  3.5 新版功能.

The m_slots array must be terminated by a slot with id 0.

The available slot types are:

`Py_mod_create`

  Specifies a function that is called to create the module object itself. The value pointer of this slot must point to a function of the signature:

  PyObject* `create_module`(PyObject *spec, PyModuleDef *def)

  The function receives a `ModuleSpec` instance, as defined in PEP 451, and the module definition. It should return a new module object, or set an error and return `NULL`.

  This function should be kept minimal. In particular, it should not call arbitrary Python code, as trying to import the same module again may result in an infinite loop.

  Multiple `Py_mod_create` slots may not be specified in one module definition.

  If `Py_mod_create` is not specified, the import machinery will create a normal module object using `PyModule_New()`. The name is taken from spec, not the definition, to allow extension modules to dynamically adjust to their place in the module hierarchy and be imported under different names through symlinks, all while sharing a single module definition.

  There is no requirement for the returned object to be an instance of `PyModule_Type`. Any type can be used, as long as it supports setting and getting import-related attributes. However, only `PyModule_Type` instances may be returned if the `PyModuleDef` has non-`NULL` `m_traverse`, `m_clear`, `m_free`; non-zero `m_size`; or slots other than `Py_mod_create`.

`Py_mod_exec`

  Specifies a function that is called to execute the module. This is equivalent to executing the code of a Python module: typically, this function adds classes and constants to the module. The signature of the function is:

  int `exec_module`(PyObject* module)

  If multiple `Py_mod_exec` slots are specified, they are processed in the order they appear in the m_slots array.

See PEP 489 for more details on multi-phase initialization.

### Low-level module creation functions

The following functions are called under the hood when using multi-phase initialization. They can be used directly, for example when creating module objects dynamically. Note that both `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec` and `PyModule_ExecDef` must be called to fully initialize a module.

PyObject * `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec`(PyModuleDef *def, PyObject *spec)
  Return value: New reference.

  Create a new module object, given the definition in module and the ModuleSpec spec. This behaves like `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2()` with module_api_version set to `PYTHON_API_VERSION`.

  3.5 新版功能.

PyObject * `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2`(PyModuleDef *def, PyObject *spec, int module_api_version)
  Return value: New reference.

  Create a new module object, given the definition in module and the ModuleSpec spec, assuming the API version module_api_version. If that version does not match the version of the running interpreter, a `RuntimeWarning` is emitted.

  注解

  Most uses of this function should be using `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec()` instead; only use this if you are sure you need it.

  3.5 新版功能.

int `PyModule_ExecDef`(PyObject *module, PyModuleDef *def)

  Process any execution slots (`Py_mod_exec`) given in def.

  3.5 新版功能.

int `PyModule_SetDocString`(PyObject *module, const char *docstring)

  Set the docstring for module to docstring. This function is called automatically when creating a module from `PyModuleDef`, using either `PyModule_Create` or `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec`.

  3.5 新版功能.

int `PyModule_AddFunctions`(PyObject *module, PyMethodDef *functions)

  Add the functions from the `NULL` terminated functions array to module. Refer to the `PyMethodDef` documentation for details on individual entries (due to the lack of a shared module namespace, module level "functions" implemented in C typically receive the module as their first parameter, making them similar to instance methods on Python classes). This function is called automatically when creating a module from `PyModuleDef`, using either `PyModule_Create` or `PyModule_FromDefAndSpec`.

  3.5 新版功能.

### Support functions

The module initialization function (if using single phase initialization) or a function called from a module execution slot (if using multi-phase initialization), can use the following functions to help initialize the module state:

int `PyModule_AddObject`(PyObject *module, const char *name, PyObject *value)

  Add an object to module as name. This is a convenience function which can be used from the module's initialization function. This steals a reference to value on success. Return `-1` on error, `0` on success.

  注解

  Unlike other functions that steal references, `PyModule_AddObject()` only decrements the reference count of value on success.

  This means that its return value must be checked, and calling code must `Py_DECREF()` value manually on error. Example usage:

      Py_INCREF(spam);
      if (PyModule_AddObject(module, "spam", spam) < 0) {
          Py_DECREF(module);
          Py_DECREF(spam);
          return NULL;
      }

int `PyModule_AddIntConstant`(PyObject *module, const char *name, long value)

  Add an integer constant to module as name. This convenience function can be used from the module's initialization function. Return `-1` on error, `0` on success.

int `PyModule_AddStringConstant`(PyObject *module, const char *name, const char *value)

  Add a string constant to module as name. This convenience function can be used from the module's initialization function. The string value must be `NULL`-terminated. Return `-1` on error, `0` on success.

int `PyModule_AddIntMacro`(PyObject *module, macro)

  Add an int constant to module. The name and the value are taken from macro. For example `PyModule_AddIntMacro(module, AF_INET)` adds the int constant AF_INET with the value of AF_INET to module. Return `-1` on error, `0` on success.

int `PyModule_AddStringMacro`(PyObject *module, macro)

  Add a string constant to module.

int `PyModule_AddType`(PyObject *module, PyTypeObject *type)

  Add a type object to module. The type object is finalized by calling internally `PyType_Ready()`. The name of the type object is taken from the last component of `tp_name` after dot. Return `-1` on error, `0` on success.

## Module lookup

Single-phase initialization creates singleton modules that can be looked up in the context of the current interpreter. This allows the module object to be retrieved later with only a reference to the module definition.

These functions will not work on modules created using multi-phase initialization, since multiple such modules can be created from a single definition.

PyObject* `PyState_FindModule`(PyModuleDef *def)
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  Returns the module object that was created from def for the current interpreter. This method requires that the module object has been attached to the interpreter state with `PyState_AddModule()` beforehand. In case the corresponding module object is not found or has not been attached to the interpreter state yet, it returns `NULL`.

int `PyState_AddModule`(PyObject *module, PyModuleDef *def)

  Attaches the module object passed to the function to the interpreter state. This allows the module object to be accessible via `PyState_FindModule()`.

  Only effective on modules created using single-phase initialization.

  Python calls `PyState_AddModule` automatically after importing a module, so it is unnecessary (but harmless) to call it from module initialization code. An explicit call is needed only if the module's own init code subsequently calls `PyState_FindModule`. The function is mainly intended for implementing alternative import mechanisms (either by calling it directly, or by referring to its implementation for details of the required state updates).
