8.16. new — Creation of runtime internal objects¶
The new module allows an interface to the interpreter object creation
functions. This is for use primarily in marshal-type functions, when a new
object needs to be created 「magically」 and not by using the regular creation
functions. This module provides a low-level interface to the interpreter, so
care must be exercised when using this module. It is possible to supply
non-sensical arguments which crash the interpreter when the object is used.
The new module defines the following functions:
-
new.instance(class[, dict])¶ This function creates an instance of class with dictionary dict without calling the
__init__()constructor. If dict is omitted orNone, a new, empty dictionary is created for the new instance. Note that there are no guarantees that the object will be in a consistent state.
-
new.instancemethod(function, instance, class)¶ This function will return a method object, bound to instance, or unbound if instance is
None. function must be callable.
-
new.function(code, globals[, name[, argdefs[, closure]]])¶ Returns a (Python) function with the given code and globals. If name is given, it must be a string or
None. If it is a string, the function will have the given name, otherwise the function name will be taken fromcode.co_name. If argdefs is given, it must be a tuple and will be used to determine the default values of parameters. If closure is given, it must beNoneor a tuple of cell objects containing objects to bind to the names incode.co_freevars.
-
new.code(argcount, nlocals, stacksize, flags, codestring, constants, names, varnames, filename, name, firstlineno, lnotab)¶ This function is an interface to the
PyCode_New()C function.
-
new.module(name[, doc])¶ This function returns a new module object with name name. name must be a string. The optional doc argument can have any type.
-
new.classobj(name, baseclasses, dict)¶ This function returns a new class object, with name name, derived from baseclasses (which should be a tuple of classes) and with namespace dict.
