Concrete Objects Layer
.. highlightlang:: c
The functions in this chapter are specific to certain Python object types. Passing them an object of the wrong type is not a good idea; if you receive an object from a Python program and you are not sure that it has the right type, you must perform a type check first; for example, to check that an object is a dictionary, use :cfunc:`PyDict_Check`. The chapter is structured like the "family tree" of Python object types.
Warning
While the functions described in this chapter carefully check the type of the objects which are passed in, many of them do not check for NULL being passed instead of a valid object. Allowing NULL to be passed in can cause memory access violations and immediate termination of the interpreter.
Fundamental Objects
This section describes Python type objects and the singleton object None.
.. toctree:: type.rst none.rst
Numeric Objects
.. index:: object: numeric
.. toctree:: int.rst bool.rst long.rst float.rst complex.rst
Sequence Objects
.. index:: object: sequence
Generic operations on sequence objects were discussed in the previous chapter; this section deals with the specific kinds of sequence objects that are intrinsic to the Python language.
.. toctree:: bytearray.rst string.rst unicode.rst buffer.rst tuple.rst list.rst
Mapping Objects
.. index:: object: mapping
.. toctree:: dict.rst
Other Objects
