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

  This is a simplified interface to `PyImport_ImportModuleEx()` below, leaving the globals and locals arguments set to `NULL` and level set to 0. When the name argument contains a dot (when it specifies a submodule of a package), the fromlist argument is set to the list `['*']` so that the return value is the named module rather than the top-level package containing it as would otherwise be the case. (Unfortunately, this has an additional side effect when name in fact specifies a subpackage instead of a submodule: the submodules specified in the package's `__all__` variable are loaded.) Return a new reference to the imported module, or `NULL` with an exception set on failure. A failing import of a module doesn't leave the module in `sys.modules`.

  该函数总是使用绝对路径导入。

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

  该函数是 `PyImport_ImportModule()` 的一个被弃用的别名。

  3.3 版更變: This function used to fail immediately when the import lock was held by another thread. In Python 3.3 though, the locking scheme switched to per-module locks for most purposes, so this function's special behaviour isn't needed anymore.

PyObject* `PyImport_ImportModuleEx`(const char *name, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject *fromlist)
  Return value: New reference.

  Import a module. This is best described by referring to the built-in Python function `__import__()`.

  The return value is a new reference to the imported module or top-level package, or `NULL` with an exception set on failure. Like for `__import__()`, the return value when a submodule of a package was requested is normally the top-level package, unless a non-empty fromlist was given.

  Failing imports remove incomplete module objects, like with `PyImport_ImportModule()`.

PyObject* `PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject`(PyObject *name, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject *fromlist, int level)
  Return value: New reference.

  Import a module. This is best described by referring to the built-in Python function `__import__()`, as the standard `__import__()` function calls this function directly.

  The return value is a new reference to the imported module or top-level package, or `NULL` with an exception set on failure. Like for `__import__()`, the return value when a submodule of a package was requested is normally the top-level package, unless a non-empty fromlist was given.

  3.3 版新加入.

PyObject* `PyImport_ImportModuleLevel`(const char *name, PyObject *globals, PyObject *locals, PyObject *fromlist, int level)
  Return value: New reference.

  Similar to `PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject()`, but the name is a UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.

  3.3 版更變: Negative values for level are no longer accepted.

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

  This is a higher-level interface that calls the current "import hook function" (with an explicit level of 0, meaning absolute import). It invokes the `__import__()` function from the `__builtins__` of the current globals. This means that the import is done using whatever import hooks are installed in the current environment.

  该函数总是使用绝对路径导入。

PyObject* `PyImport_ReloadModule`(PyObject *m)
  Return value: New reference.

  Reload a module. Return a new reference to the reloaded module, or `NULL` with an exception set on failure (the module still exists in this case).

PyObject* `PyImport_AddModuleObject`(PyObject *name)
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  Return the module object corresponding to a module name. The name argument may be of the form `package.module`. First check the modules dictionary if there's one there, and if not, create a new one and insert it in the modules dictionary. Return `NULL` with an exception set on failure.

  備註

  This function does not load or import the module; if the module wasn't already loaded, you will get an empty module object. Use `PyImport_ImportModule()` or one of its variants to import a module. Package structures implied by a dotted name for name are not created if not already present.

  3.3 版新加入.

PyObject* `PyImport_AddModule`(const char *name)
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  Similar to `PyImport_AddModuleObject()`, but the name is a UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.

PyObject* `PyImport_ExecCodeModule`(const char *name, PyObject *co)
  Return value: New reference.

  Given a module name (possibly of the form `package.module`) and a code object read from a Python bytecode file or obtained from the built-in function `compile()`, load the module. Return a new reference to the module object, or `NULL` with an exception set if an error occurred. name is removed from `sys.modules` in error cases, even if name was already in `sys.modules` on entry to `PyImport_ExecCodeModule()`. Leaving incompletely initialized modules in `sys.modules` is dangerous, as imports of such modules have no way to know that the module object is an unknown (and probably damaged with respect to the module author's intents) state.

  The module's `__spec__` and `__loader__` will be set, if not set already, with the appropriate values. The spec's loader will be set to the module's `__loader__` (if set) and to an instance of `SourceFileLoader` otherwise.

  The module's `__file__` attribute will be set to the code object's `co_filename`. If applicable, `__cached__` will also be set.

  This function will reload the module if it was already imported. See `PyImport_ReloadModule()` for the intended way to reload a module.

  If name points to a dotted name of the form `package.module`, any package structures not already created will still not be created.

  See also `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()` and `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames()`.

PyObject* `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx`(const char *name, PyObject *co, const char *pathname)
  Return value: New reference.

  Like `PyImport_ExecCodeModule()`, but the `__file__` attribute of the module object is set to pathname if it is non-`NULL`.

  参见 `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames()`。

PyObject* `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject`(PyObject *name, PyObject *co, PyObject *pathname, PyObject *cpathname)
  Return value: New reference.

  Like `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()`, but the `__cached__` attribute of the module object is set to cpathname if it is non-`NULL`. Of the three functions, this is the preferred one to use.

  3.3 版新加入.

PyObject* `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames`(const char *name, PyObject *co, const char *pathname, const char *cpathname)
  Return value: New reference.

  Like `PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject()`, but name, pathname and cpathname are UTF-8 encoded strings. Attempts are also made to figure out what the value for pathname should be from cpathname if the former is set to `NULL`.

  3.2 版新加入.

  3.3 版更變: Uses `imp.source_from_cache()` in calculating the source path if only the bytecode path is provided.

long `PyImport_GetMagicNumber`()

  Return the magic number for Python bytecode files (a.k.a. `.pyc` file). The magic number should be present in the first four bytes of the bytecode file, in little-endian byte order. Returns `-1` on error.

  3.3 版更變: 失败时返回值 `-1`。

const char * `PyImport_GetMagicTag`()

  Return the magic tag string for PEP 3147 format Python bytecode file names. Keep in mind that the value at `sys.implementation.cache_tag` is authoritative and should be used instead of this function.

  3.2 版新加入.

PyObject* `PyImport_GetModuleDict`()
  Return value: Borrowed reference.

  Return the dictionary used for the module administration (a.k.a. `sys.modules`). Note that this is a per-interpreter variable.

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

  Return the already imported module with the given name. If the module has not been imported yet then returns `NULL` but does not set an error. Returns `NULL` and sets an error if the lookup failed.

  3.7 版新加入.

PyObject* `PyImport_GetImporter`(PyObject *path)
  Return value: New reference.

  Return a finder object for a `sys.path`/`pkg.__path__` item path, possibly by fetching it from the `sys.path_importer_cache` dict. If it wasn't yet cached, traverse `sys.path_hooks` until a hook is found that can handle the path item. Return `None` if no hook could; this tells our caller that the path based finder could not find a finder for this path item. Cache the result in `sys.path_importer_cache`. Return a new reference to the finder object.

void `_PyImport_Init`()

  Initialize the import mechanism. For internal use only.

void `PyImport_Cleanup`()

  Empty the module table. For internal use only.

void `_PyImport_Fini`()

  Finalize the import mechanism. For internal use only.

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

  Load a frozen module named name. Return `1` for success, `0` if the module is not found, and `-1` with an exception set if the initialization failed. To access the imported module on a successful load, use `PyImport_ImportModule()`. (Note the misnomer --- this function would reload the module if it was already imported.)

  3.3 版新加入.

  3.4 版更變: The `__file__` attribute is no longer set on the module.

int `PyImport_ImportFrozenModule`(const char *name)

  Similar to `PyImport_ImportFrozenModuleObject()`, but the name is a UTF-8 encoded string instead of a Unicode object.

struct `_frozen`

  This is the structure type definition for frozen module descriptors, as generated by the freeze utility (see `Tools/freeze/` in the Python source distribution). Its definition, found in `Include/import.h`, is:

      struct _frozen {
          const char *name;
          const unsigned char *code;
          int size;
      };

const struct _frozen* `PyImport_FrozenModules`

  This pointer is initialized to point to an array of `struct _frozen` records, terminated by one whose members are all `NULL` or zero. When a frozen module is imported, it is searched in this table. Third-party code could play tricks with this to provide a dynamically created collection of frozen modules.

int `PyImport_AppendInittab`(const char *name, PyObject* (*initfunc)(void))

  Add a single module to the existing table of built-in modules. This is a convenience wrapper around `PyImport_ExtendInittab()`, returning `-1` if the table could not be extended. The new module can be imported by the name name, and uses the function initfunc as the initialization function called on the first attempted import. This should be called before `Py_Initialize()`.

struct `_inittab`

  Structure describing a single entry in the list of built-in modules. Each of these structures gives the name and initialization function for a module built into the interpreter. The name is an ASCII encoded string. Programs which embed Python may use an array of these structures in conjunction with `PyImport_ExtendInittab()` to provide additional built-in modules. The structure is defined in `Include/import.h` as:

      struct _inittab {
          const char *name;           /* ASCII encoded string */
          PyObject* (*initfunc)(void);
      };

int `PyImport_ExtendInittab`(struct _inittab *newtab)

  Add a collection of modules to the table of built-in modules. The newtab array must end with a sentinel entry which contains `NULL` for the `name` field; failure to provide the sentinel value can result in a memory fault. Returns `0` on success or `-1` if insufficient memory could be allocated to extend the internal table. In the event of failure, no modules are added to the internal table. This should be called before `Py_Initialize()`.
