# 簡介

Python 的应用编程接口（API）使得 C 和 C++ 程序员可以在多个层级上访问 Python 解释器。该 API 在 C++ 中同样可用，但为简化描述，通常将其称为 Python/C API。使用 Python/C API 有两个基本的理由。第一个理由是为了特定目的而编写 扩展模块；它们是扩展 Python 解释器功能的 C 模块。这可能是最常见的使用场景。第二个理由是将 Python 用作更大规模应用的组件；这种技巧通常被称为在一个应用中 embedding Python。

编写扩展模块的过程相对来说更易于理解，可以通过“菜谱”的形式分步骤介绍。使用某些工具可在一定程度上自动化这一过程。虽然人们在其他应用中嵌入 Python 的做法早已有之，但嵌入 Python 的过程没有编写扩展模块那样方便直观。

许多 API 函数在你嵌入或是扩展 Python 这两种场景下都能发挥作用；此外，大多数嵌入 Python 的应用程序也需要提供自定义扩展，因此在尝试在实际应用中嵌入 Python 之前先熟悉编写扩展应该会是个好主意。

## 代码标准

如果你想要编写可包含于 CPython 的 C 代码，你 必须 遵循在 PEP 7 中定义的指导原则和标准。这些指导原则适用于任何你所要扩展的 Python 版本。在编写你自己的第三方扩展模块时可以不必遵循这些规范，除非你准备在日后向 Python 贡献这些模块。

## 包含文件

使用 Python/C API 所需要的全部函数、类型和宏定义可通过下面这行语句包含到你的代码之中：

    #define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
    #include <Python.h>

这意味着包含以下标准头文件：`<stdio.h>`，`<string.h>`，`<errno.h>`，`<limits.h>`，`<assert.h>` 和 `<stdlib.h>`（如果可用）。

備註

由于 Python 可能会定义一些能在某些系统上影响标准头文件的预处理器定义，因此在包含任何标准头文件之前，你 必须 先包含 `Python.h`。

推荐总是在 `Python.h` 前定义 `PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN` 。查看 语句解释及变量编译 来了解这个宏的更多内容。

Python.h 所定义的全部用户可见名称（由包含的标准头文件所定义的除外）都带有前缀 `Py` 或者 `_Py`。以 `_Py` 打头的名称是供 Python 实现内部使用的，不应被扩展编写者使用。结构成员名称没有保留前缀。

備註

用户代码永远不应该定义以 `Py` 或 `_Py` 开头的名称。这会使读者感到困惑，并危及用户代码对未来Python版本的可移植性，这些版本可能会定义以这些前缀之一开头的其他名称。

头文件通常会与 Python 一起安装。在 Unix 上，它们位于以下目录：`prefix/include/pythonversion/` 和 `exec_prefix/include/pythonversion/`，其中 `prefix` 和 `exec_prefix` 是由向 Python 的 configure 脚本传入的对应形参所定义，而 version 则为 `'%d.%d' % sys.version_info[:2]`。在 Windows 上，头文件安装于 `prefix/include`，其中 `prefix` 是向安装程序指定的安装目录。

要包含头文件，请将两个目录（如果不同）都放到你所用编译器的包含搜索路径中。请 不要 将父目录放入搜索路径然后使用 `#include <pythonX.Y/Python.h>`；这将使得多平台编译不可用，因为 `prefix` 下平台无关的头文件需要包含来自 `exec_prefix` 下特定平台的头文件。

C++ 用户应该注意，尽管 API 是完全使用 C 来定义的，但头文件正确地将入口点声明为 `extern "C"`，因此 API 在 C++ 中使用此 API 不必再做任何特殊处理。

## 有用的宏

Python 头文件中定义了一些有用的宏。许多是在靠近它们被使用的地方定义的（例如 `Py_RETURN_NONE`）。其他更为通用的则定义在这里。这里所显示的并不是一个完整的列表。

`Py_UNREACHABLE`()

  这个可以在你有一个设计上无法到达的代码路径时使用。例如，当一个 `switch` 语句中所有可能的值都已被 `case` 子句覆盖了，就可将其用在 `default:` 子句中。当你非常想在某个位置放一个 `assert(0)` 或 `abort()` 调用时也可以用这个。

  在 release 模式下，该宏帮助编译器优化代码，并避免发出不可到达代码的警告。例如，在 GCC 的 release 模式下，该宏使用 `__builtin_unreachable()` 实现。

  `Py_UNREACHABLE()` 的一个用法是调用一个不会返回，但却没有声明 `_Py_NO_RETURN` 的函数之后。

  如果一个代码路径不太可能是正常代码，但在特殊情况下可以到达，就不能使用该宏。例如，在低内存条件下，或者一个系统调用返回超出预期范围值，诸如此类，最好将错误报告给调用者。如果无法将错误报告给调用者，可以使用 `Py_FatalError()` 。

  3.4 版新加入.

`Py_DEPRECATED`(version)

  弃用声明。该宏必须放置在符号名称前。

  示例:

  3.8 版更變: 添加了 MSVC 支持。

`PyDoc_STRVAR`(name, str)

  创建一个可以在文档字符串中使用的，名字为 `name` 的变量。如果不和文档字符串一起构建 Python，该值将为空。

  如 PEP 7 所述，使用 `PyDoc_STRVAR` 作为文档字符串，以支持不和文档字符串一起构建 Python 的情况。

  示例:

      PyDoc_STRVAR(pop_doc, "Remove and return the rightmost element.");

      static PyMethodDef deque_methods[] = {
          // ...
          {"pop", (PyCFunction)deque_pop, METH_NOARGS, pop_doc},
          // ...
      }

`PyDoc_STR`(str)

  为给定的字符串输入创建一个文档字符串，或者当文档字符串被禁用时，创建一个空字符串。

  如 PEP 7 所述，使用 `PyDoc_STR` 指定文档字符串，以支持不和文档字符串一起构建 Python 的情况。

  示例:

      static PyMethodDef pysqlite_row_methods[] = {
          {"keys", (PyCFunction)pysqlite_row_keys, METH_NOARGS,
              PyDoc_STR("Returns the keys of the row.")},
          {NULL, NULL}
      };

## 对象、类型和引用计数

多数 Python/C API 有一个或多个参数，以及一个 `PyObject*` 类型的返回值。这种类型是指向任意 Python 对象的不透明数据类型的指针。所有 Python 对象类型在大多数情况下都被 Python 语言由相同的方式处理（例如，赋值，作用域规则，和参数传递），因此将它们由单个 C 类型表示才合适。几乎所有 Python 对象存放在堆中：你不能声明一个类型为 `PyObject` 的自动或静态的变量，只能声明类型为 `PyObject*` 的指针。type 对象是唯一的例外，因为它们永远不能被释放，所以它们通常是静态的 `PyTypeObject` 对象。

所有 Python 对象（甚至 Python 整数）都有一个 type 和一个 reference count。对象的类型确定它是什么类型的对象（例如整数、列表或用户定义函数；还有更多，如 标准类型层级结构 中所述）。对于每个众所周知的类型，都有一个宏来检查对象是否属于该类型；例如，当（且仅当） a 所指的对象是 Python 列表时 `PyList_Check(a)` 为真。

### 引用计数

引用计数非常重要，因为现代计算机内存（通常十分）有限；它计算有多少不同的地方引用同一个对象。这样的地方可以是某个对象，或者是某个全局（或静态）C 变量，亦或是某个 C 函数的局部变量。当一个对象的引用计数变为 0，释放该对象。如果这个已释放的对象包含其它对象的引用计数，则递减这些对象的引用计数。如果这些对象的引用计数减少为零，则可以依次释放这些对象，依此类推。（这里有一个很明显的问题——对象之间相互引用；目前，解决方案是“不要那样做”。）

总是显式操作引用计数。通常的方法是使用宏 `Py_INCREF()` 来增加一个对象的引用计数，使用宏 `Py_DECREF()` 来减少一个对象的引用计数。宏 `Py_DECREF()` 必须检查引用计数是否为零，然后调用对象的释放器， 因此它比 incref 宏复杂得多。释放器是一个包含在对象类型结构中的函数指针。如果对象是复合对象类型（例如列表），则类型特定的释放器负责递减包含在对象中的其他对象的引用计数，并执行所需的终结。引用计数不会溢出，至少用与虚拟内存中不同内存位置一样多的位用于保存引用计数（即 `sizeof(Py_ssize_t) >= sizeof(void*)` ）。因此，引用计数递增是一个简单的操作。

没有必要为每个包含指向对象的指针的局部变量增加对象的引用计数。理论上，当变量指向对象时，对象的引用计数增加 1 ，当变量超出范围时，对象的引用计数减少 1 。但是，这两者相互抵消，所以最后引用计数没有改变。使用引用计数的唯一真正原因是只要我们的变量指向它，就可以防止对象被释放。如果知道至少有一个对该对象的其他引用存活时间至少和我们的变量一样长，则没必要临时增加引用计数。一个典型的情形是，对象作为参数从 Python 中传递给被调用的扩展模块中的 C 函数时，调用机制会保证在调用期间持有对所有参数的引用。

但是，有一个常见的陷阱是从列表中提取一个对象，并将其持有一段时间，而不增加其引用计数。某些操作可能会从列表中删除某个对象，减少其引用计数，并有可能重新分配这个对象。真正的危险是，这个看似无害的操作可能会调用任意 Python 代码——也许有一个代码路径允许控制流从 `Py_DECREF()` 回到用户，因此在复合对象上的操作都存在潜在的风险。

一个安全的方式是始终使用泛型操作（名称以 `PyObject_` ， `PyNumber_` ， `PySequence_` 或 `PyMapping_` 开头的函数）。这些操作总是增加它们返回的对象的引用计数。这让调用者有责任在获得结果后调用 `Py_DECREF()` 。习惯这种方式很简单。

#### 引用计数细节

The reference count behavior of functions in the Python/C API is best explained in terms of ownership of references. Ownership pertains to references, never to objects (objects are not owned: they are always shared). "Owning a reference" means being responsible for calling Py_DECREF on it when the reference is no longer needed. Ownership can also be transferred, meaning that the code that receives ownership of the reference then becomes responsible for eventually decref'ing it by calling `Py_DECREF()` or `Py_XDECREF()` when it's no longer needed---or passing on this responsibility (usually to its caller). When a function passes ownership of a reference on to its caller, the caller is said to receive a new reference. When no ownership is transferred, the caller is said to borrow the reference. Nothing needs to be done for a borrowed reference.

Conversely, when a calling function passes in a reference to an object, there are two possibilities: the function steals a reference to the object, or it does not. Stealing a reference means that when you pass a reference to a function, that function assumes that it now owns that reference, and you are not responsible for it any longer.

Few functions steal references; the two notable exceptions are `PyList_SetItem()` and `PyTuple_SetItem()`, which steal a reference to the item (but not to the tuple or list into which the item is put!). These functions were designed to steal a reference because of a common idiom for populating a tuple or list with newly created objects; for example, the code to create the tuple `(1, 2, "three")` could look like this (forgetting about error handling for the moment; a better way to code this is shown below):

    PyObject *t;

    t = PyTuple_New(3);
    PyTuple_SetItem(t, 0, PyLong_FromLong(1L));
    PyTuple_SetItem(t, 1, PyLong_FromLong(2L));
    PyTuple_SetItem(t, 2, PyUnicode_FromString("three"));

Here, `PyLong_FromLong()` returns a new reference which is immediately stolen by `PyTuple_SetItem()`. When you want to keep using an object although the reference to it will be stolen, use `Py_INCREF()` to grab another reference before calling the reference-stealing function.

Incidentally, `PyTuple_SetItem()` is the only way to set tuple items; `PySequence_SetItem()` and `PyObject_SetItem()` refuse to do this since tuples are an immutable data type. You should only use `PyTuple_SetItem()` for tuples that you are creating yourself.

Equivalent code for populating a list can be written using `PyList_New()` and `PyList_SetItem()`.

However, in practice, you will rarely use these ways of creating and populating a tuple or list. There's a generic function, `Py_BuildValue()`, that can create most common objects from C values, directed by a format string. For example, the above two blocks of code could be replaced by the following (which also takes care of the error checking):

    PyObject *tuple, *list;

    tuple = Py_BuildValue("(iis)", 1, 2, "three");
    list = Py_BuildValue("[iis]", 1, 2, "three");

It is much more common to use `PyObject_SetItem()` and friends with items whose references you are only borrowing, like arguments that were passed in to the function you are writing. In that case, their behaviour regarding reference counts is much saner, since you don't have to increment a reference count so you can give a reference away ("have it be stolen"). For example, this function sets all items of a list (actually, any mutable sequence) to a given item:

    int
    set_all(PyObject *target, PyObject *item)
    {
        Py_ssize_t i, n;

        n = PyObject_Length(target);
        if (n < 0)
            return -1;
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            PyObject *index = PyLong_FromSsize_t(i);
            if (!index)
                return -1;
            if (PyObject_SetItem(target, index, item) < 0) {
                Py_DECREF(index);
                return -1;
            }
            Py_DECREF(index);
        }
        return 0;
    }

The situation is slightly different for function return values. While passing a reference to most functions does not change your ownership responsibilities for that reference, many functions that return a reference to an object give you ownership of the reference. The reason is simple: in many cases, the returned object is created on the fly, and the reference you get is the only reference to the object. Therefore, the generic functions that return object references, like `PyObject_GetItem()` and `PySequence_GetItem()`, always return a new reference (the caller becomes the owner of the reference).

It is important to realize that whether you own a reference returned by a function depends on which function you call only --- the plumage (the type of the object passed as an argument to the function) doesn't enter into it! Thus, if you extract an item from a list using `PyList_GetItem()`, you don't own the reference --- but if you obtain the same item from the same list using `PySequence_GetItem()` (which happens to take exactly the same arguments), you do own a reference to the returned object.

Here is an example of how you could write a function that computes the sum of the items in a list of integers; once using `PyList_GetItem()`, and once using `PySequence_GetItem()`.

    long
    sum_list(PyObject *list)
    {
        Py_ssize_t i, n;
        long total = 0, value;
        PyObject *item;

        n = PyList_Size(list);
        if (n < 0)
            return -1; /* Not a list */
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            item = PyList_GetItem(list, i); /* Can't fail */
            if (!PyLong_Check(item)) continue; /* Skip non-integers */
            value = PyLong_AsLong(item);
            if (value == -1 && PyErr_Occurred())
                /* Integer too big to fit in a C long, bail out */
                return -1;
            total += value;
        }
        return total;
    }

    long
    sum_sequence(PyObject *sequence)
    {
        Py_ssize_t i, n;
        long total = 0, value;
        PyObject *item;
        n = PySequence_Length(sequence);
        if (n < 0)
            return -1; /* Has no length */
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            item = PySequence_GetItem(sequence, i);
            if (item == NULL)
                return -1; /* Not a sequence, or other failure */
            if (PyLong_Check(item)) {
                value = PyLong_AsLong(item);
                Py_DECREF(item);
                if (value == -1 && PyErr_Occurred())
                    /* Integer too big to fit in a C long, bail out */
                    return -1;
                total += value;
            }
            else {
                Py_DECREF(item); /* Discard reference ownership */
            }
        }
        return total;
    }

### 类型

There are few other data types that play a significant role in the Python/C API; most are simple C types such as `int`, `long`, `double` and `char*`. A few structure types are used to describe static tables used to list the functions exported by a module or the data attributes of a new object type, and another is used to describe the value of a complex number. These will be discussed together with the functions that use them.

## 异常

Python程序员只需要处理特定需要处理的错误异常；未处理的异常会自动传递给调用者，然后传递给调用者的调用者，依此类推，直到他们到达顶级解释器，在那里将它们报告给用户并伴随堆栈回溯。

For C programmers, however, error checking always has to be explicit. All functions in the Python/C API can raise exceptions, unless an explicit claim is made otherwise in a function's documentation. In general, when a function encounters an error, it sets an exception, discards any object references that it owns, and returns an error indicator. If not documented otherwise, this indicator is either `NULL` or `-1`, depending on the function's return type. A few functions return a Boolean true/false result, with false indicating an error. Very few functions return no explicit error indicator or have an ambiguous return value, and require explicit testing for errors with `PyErr_Occurred()`. These exceptions are always explicitly documented.

Exception state is maintained in per-thread storage (this is equivalent to using global storage in an unthreaded application). A thread can be in one of two states: an exception has occurred, or not. The function `PyErr_Occurred()` can be used to check for this: it returns a borrowed reference to the exception type object when an exception has occurred, and `NULL` otherwise. There are a number of functions to set the exception state: `PyErr_SetString()` is the most common (though not the most general) function to set the exception state, and `PyErr_Clear()` clears the exception state.

The full exception state consists of three objects (all of which can be `NULL`): the exception type, the corresponding exception value, and the traceback. These have the same meanings as the Python result of `sys.exc_info()`; however, they are not the same: the Python objects represent the last exception being handled by a Python `try` ... `except` statement, while the C level exception state only exists while an exception is being passed on between C functions until it reaches the Python bytecode interpreter's main loop, which takes care of transferring it to `sys.exc_info()` and friends.

Note that starting with Python 1.5, the preferred, thread-safe way to access the exception state from Python code is to call the function `sys.exc_info()`, which returns the per-thread exception state for Python code. Also, the semantics of both ways to access the exception state have changed so that a function which catches an exception will save and restore its thread's exception state so as to preserve the exception state of its caller. This prevents common bugs in exception handling code caused by an innocent-looking function overwriting the exception being handled; it also reduces the often unwanted lifetime extension for objects that are referenced by the stack frames in the traceback.

As a general principle, a function that calls another function to perform some task should check whether the called function raised an exception, and if so, pass the exception state on to its caller. It should discard any object references that it owns, and return an error indicator, but it should not set another exception --- that would overwrite the exception that was just raised, and lose important information about the exact cause of the error.

A simple example of detecting exceptions and passing them on is shown in the `sum_sequence()` example above. It so happens that this example doesn't need to clean up any owned references when it detects an error. The following example function shows some error cleanup. First, to remind you why you like Python, we show the equivalent Python code:

    def incr_item(dict, key):
        try:
            item = dict[key]
        except KeyError:
            item = 0
        dict[key] = item + 1

下面是对应的闪耀荣光的 C 代码：

    int
    incr_item(PyObject *dict, PyObject *key)
    {
        /* Objects all initialized to NULL for Py_XDECREF */
        PyObject *item = NULL, *const_one = NULL, *incremented_item = NULL;
        int rv = -1; /* Return value initialized to -1 (failure) */

        item = PyObject_GetItem(dict, key);
        if (item == NULL) {
            /* Handle KeyError only: */
            if (!PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_KeyError))
                goto error;

            /* Clear the error and use zero: */
            PyErr_Clear();
            item = PyLong_FromLong(0L);
            if (item == NULL)
                goto error;
        }
        const_one = PyLong_FromLong(1L);
        if (const_one == NULL)
            goto error;

        incremented_item = PyNumber_Add(item, const_one);
        if (incremented_item == NULL)
            goto error;

        if (PyObject_SetItem(dict, key, incremented_item) < 0)
            goto error;
        rv = 0; /* Success */
        /* Continue with cleanup code */

     error:
        /* Cleanup code, shared by success and failure path */

        /* Use Py_XDECREF() to ignore NULL references */
        Py_XDECREF(item);
        Py_XDECREF(const_one);
        Py_XDECREF(incremented_item);

        return rv; /* -1 for error, 0 for success */
    }

This example represents an endorsed use of the `goto` statement in C! It illustrates the use of `PyErr_ExceptionMatches()` and `PyErr_Clear()` to handle specific exceptions, and the use of `Py_XDECREF()` to dispose of owned references that may be `NULL` (note the `'X'` in the name; `Py_DECREF()` would crash when confronted with a `NULL` reference). It is important that the variables used to hold owned references are initialized to `NULL` for this to work; likewise, the proposed return value is initialized to `-1` (failure) and only set to success after the final call made is successful.

## 嵌入式Python

The one important task that only embedders (as opposed to extension writers) of the Python interpreter have to worry about is the initialization, and possibly the finalization, of the Python interpreter. Most functionality of the interpreter can only be used after the interpreter has been initialized.

The basic initialization function is `Py_Initialize()`. This initializes the table of loaded modules, and creates the fundamental modules `builtins`, `__main__`, and `sys`. It also initializes the module search path (`sys.path`).

`Py_Initialize()` does not set the "script argument list" (`sys.argv`). If this variable is needed by Python code that will be executed later, it must be set explicitly with a call to `PySys_SetArgvEx(argc, argv, updatepath)` after the call to `Py_Initialize()`.

On most systems (in particular, on Unix and Windows, although the details are slightly different), `Py_Initialize()` calculates the module search path based upon its best guess for the location of the standard Python interpreter executable, assuming that the Python library is found in a fixed location relative to the Python interpreter executable. In particular, it looks for a directory named `lib/pythonX.Y` relative to the parent directory where the executable named `python` is found on the shell command search path (the environment variable `PATH`).

For instance, if the Python executable is found in `/usr/local/bin/python`, it will assume that the libraries are in `/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y`. (In fact, this particular path is also the "fallback" location, used when no executable file named `python` is found along `PATH`.) The user can override this behavior by setting the environment variable `PYTHONHOME`, or insert additional directories in front of the standard path by setting `PYTHONPATH`.

The embedding application can steer the search by calling `Py_SetProgramName(file)` before calling `Py_Initialize()`. Note that `PYTHONHOME` still overrides this and `PYTHONPATH` is still inserted in front of the standard path. An application that requires total control has to provide its own implementation of `Py_GetPath()`, `Py_GetPrefix()`, `Py_GetExecPrefix()`, and `Py_GetProgramFullPath()` (all defined in `Modules/getpath.c`).

Sometimes, it is desirable to "uninitialize" Python. For instance, the application may want to start over (make another call to `Py_Initialize()`) or the application is simply done with its use of Python and wants to free memory allocated by Python. This can be accomplished by calling `Py_FinalizeEx()`. The function `Py_IsInitialized()` returns true if Python is currently in the initialized state. More information about these functions is given in a later chapter. Notice that `Py_FinalizeEx()` does not free all memory allocated by the Python interpreter, e.g. memory allocated by extension modules currently cannot be released.

## 调试构建

Python can be built with several macros to enable extra checks of the interpreter and extension modules. These checks tend to add a large amount of overhead to the runtime so they are not enabled by default.

A full list of the various types of debugging builds is in the file `Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt` in the Python source distribution. Builds are available that support tracing of reference counts, debugging the memory allocator, or low-level profiling of the main interpreter loop. Only the most frequently-used builds will be described in the remainder of this section.

Compiling the interpreter with the `Py_DEBUG` macro defined produces what is generally meant by "a debug build" of Python. `Py_DEBUG` is enabled in the Unix build by adding `--with-pydebug` to the `./configure` command. It is also implied by the presence of the not-Python-specific `_DEBUG` macro. When `Py_DEBUG` is enabled in the Unix build, compiler optimization is disabled.

除了前面描述的引用计数调试之外，还执行以下额外检查：

- 额外检查将添加到对象分配器。

- 额外的检查将添加到解析器和编译器中。

- 检查从宽类型向窄类型的向下强转是否损失了信息。

- 许多断言被添加到字典和集合实现中。另外，集合对象需要 `test_c_api()` 方法。

- 输入参数的完整性检查被添加到框架创建中。

- 使用已知的无效模式初始化整型的存储，以捕获对未初始化数字的引用。

- 添加底层跟踪和额外的异常检查到虚拟机的运行时中。

- 添加额外的检查到 arena 内存实现。

- 添加额外调试到线程模块。

这里可能没有提到的额外的检查。

Defining `Py_TRACE_REFS` enables reference tracing. When defined, a circular doubly linked list of active objects is maintained by adding two extra fields to every `PyObject`. Total allocations are tracked as well. Upon exit, all existing references are printed. (In interactive mode this happens after every statement run by the interpreter.) Implied by `Py_DEBUG`.
