モジュールオブジェクト (module object)

PyTypeObject PyModule_Type
次に属します: Stable ABI.

This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python module type. This is exposed to Python programs as types.ModuleType.

int PyModule_Check(PyObject *p)

p がモジュールオブジェクトかモジュールオブジェクトのサブタイプであるときに真を返します。この関数は常に成功します。

int PyModule_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

p がモジュールオブジェクトで、かつ PyModule_Type のサブタイプでないときに真を返します。この関数は常に成功します。

PyObject *PyModule_NewObject(PyObject *name)
戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.7 より).

Return a new module object with module.__name__ set to name. The module's __name__, __doc__, __package__ and __loader__ attributes are filled in (all but __name__ are set to None). The caller is responsible for setting a __file__ attribute.

Return NULL with an exception set on error.

Added in version 3.3.

バージョン 3.4 で変更: __package__ and __loader__ are now set to None.

PyObject *PyModule_New(const char *name)
戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

PyModule_NewObject() に似ていますが、 name は Unicode オブジェクトではなく UTF-8 でエンコードされた文字列です。

PyObject *PyModule_GetDict(PyObject *module)
戻り値: 借用参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

module の名前空間を実装する辞書オブジェクトを返します; このオブジェクトは、モジュールオブジェクトの __dict__ 属性と同じものです。 module がモジュールオブジェクト (もしくはモジュールオブジェクトのサブタイプ) でない場合は、 SystemError が送出され NULL が返されます。

拡張モジュールでは、モジュールの __dict__ を直接操作するよりも、 PyModule_* および PyObject_* 関数を使う方が推奨されます。

The returned reference is borrowed from the module; it is valid until the module is destroyed.

PyObject *PyModule_GetNameObject(PyObject *module)
戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.7 より).

Return module's __name__ value. If the module does not provide one, or if it is not a string, SystemError is raised and NULL is returned.

Added in version 3.3.

const char *PyModule_GetName(PyObject *module)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

PyModule_GetNameObject() に似ていますが、 'utf-8' でエンコードされた name を返します。

The returned buffer is only valid until the module is renamed or destroyed. Note that Python code may rename a module by setting its __name__ attribute.

void *PyModule_GetState(PyObject *module)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

Return the "state" of the module, that is, a pointer to the block of memory allocated at module creation time, or NULL. See PyModuleDef.m_size.

PyModuleDef *PyModule_GetDef(PyObject *module)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

モジュールが作られる元となった PyModuleDef 構造体へのポインタを返します。 モジュールが定義によって作られていなかった場合は NULL を返します。

On error, return NULL with an exception set. Use PyErr_Occurred() to tell this case apart from a missing PyModuleDef.

PyObject *PyModule_GetFilenameObject(PyObject *module)
戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

Return the name of the file from which module was loaded using module's __file__ attribute. If this is not defined, or if it is not a string, raise SystemError and return NULL; otherwise return a reference to a Unicode object.

Added in version 3.2.

const char *PyModule_GetFilename(PyObject *module)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

PyModule_GetFilenameObject() と似ていますが、 'utf-8' でエンコードされたファイル名を返します。

The returned buffer is only valid until the module's __file__ attribute is reassigned or the module is destroyed.

バージョン 3.2 で非推奨: PyModule_GetFilename() はエンコードできないファイル名に対しては UnicodeEncodeError を送出します。これの代わりに PyModule_GetFilenameObject() を使用してください。

Module definitions

The functions in the previous section work on any module object, including modules imported from Python code.

Modules defined using the C API typically use a module definition, PyModuleDef -- a statically allocated, constant “description" of how a module should be created.

The definition is usually used to define an extension's “main” module object (see 拡張モジュールの定義 for details). It is also used to create extension modules dynamically.

Unlike PyModule_New(), the definition allows management of module state -- a piece of memory that is allocated and cleared together with the module object. Unlike the module's Python attributes, Python code cannot replace or delete data stored in module state.

type PyModuleDef
次に属します: Stable ABI (すべてのメンバーを含む).

The module definition struct, which holds all information needed to create a module object. This structure must be statically allocated (or be otherwise guaranteed to be valid while any modules created from it exist). Usually, there is only one variable of this type for each extension module.

PyModuleDef_Base m_base

Always initialize this member to PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT.

const char *m_name

Name for the new module.

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 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.

Setting m_size to -1 means that the module does not support sub-interpreters, because it has global state. Negative m_size is only allowed when using legacy single-phase initialization or when creating modules dynamically.

詳細は PEP 3121 を参照。

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 legacy single-phase initialization, m_slots must be NULL.

バージョン 3.5 で変更: バージョン 3.5 より前は、このメンバは常に NULL に設定されていて、次のものとして定義されていました:

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.

バージョン 3.9 で変更: 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.

バージョン 3.9 で変更: 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.

バージョン 3.9 で変更: No longer called before the module state is allocated.

PyTypeObject PyModuleDef_Type
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.5 より).

The type of PyModuleDef objects.

Module slots

type PyModuleDef_Slot
次に属します: Stable ABI (すべてのメンバーを含む) (バージョン 3.5 より).
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.

Added in version 3.5.

The available slot types are:

Py_mod_create
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.5 より).

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.

この関数は最小限に留めておくべきです。 特に任意のPythonコードを呼び出すべきではなく、同じモジュールをインポートしようとすると無限ループに陥るでしょう。

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

Py_mod_create が設定されていない場合は、インポート機構は PyModule_New() を使って通常のモジュールオブジェクトを生成します。 モジュールの名前は定義ではなく spec から取得され、これによって拡張モジュールが動的にモジュール階層における位置を調整できたり、シンボリックリンクを通して同一のモジュール定義を共有しつつ別の名前でインポートできたりします。

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.

Added in version 3.5.

Py_mod_exec
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.5 より).

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.

Added in version 3.5.

Py_mod_multiple_interpreters
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.12 より).

Specifies one of the following values:

Py_MOD_MULTIPLE_INTERPRETERS_NOT_SUPPORTED

The module does not support being imported in subinterpreters.

Py_MOD_MULTIPLE_INTERPRETERS_SUPPORTED

The module supports being imported in subinterpreters, but only when they share the main interpreter's GIL. (See 拡張モジュールを分離する.)

Py_MOD_PER_INTERPRETER_GIL_SUPPORTED

The module supports being imported in subinterpreters, even when they have their own GIL. (See 拡張モジュールを分離する.)

This slot determines whether or not importing this module in a subinterpreter will fail.

Multiple Py_mod_multiple_interpreters slots may not be specified in one module definition.

If Py_mod_multiple_interpreters is not specified, the import machinery defaults to Py_MOD_MULTIPLE_INTERPRETERS_SUPPORTED.

Added in version 3.12.

Py_mod_gil
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.13 より).

Specifies one of the following values:

Py_MOD_GIL_USED

The module depends on the presence of the global interpreter lock (GIL), and may access global state without synchronization.

Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED

The module is safe to run without an active GIL.

This slot is ignored by Python builds not configured with --disable-gil. Otherwise, it determines whether or not importing this module will cause the GIL to be automatically enabled. See フリースレッドの CPython for more detail.

Multiple Py_mod_gil slots may not be specified in one module definition.

If Py_mod_gil is not specified, the import machinery defaults to Py_MOD_GIL_USED.

Added in version 3.13.

Creating extension modules dynamically

The following functions may be used to create a module outside of an extension's initialization function. They are also used in single-phase initialization.

PyObject *PyModule_Create(PyModuleDef *def)
戻り値: 新しい参照。

Create a new module object, given the definition in def. This is a macro that calls PyModule_Create2() with module_api_version set to PYTHON_API_VERSION, or to PYTHON_ABI_VERSION if using the limited API.

PyObject *PyModule_Create2(PyModuleDef *def, int module_api_version)
戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

APIバージョンを module_api_version として def での定義に従って新しいモジュールオブジェクトを生成します。 もし指定されたバージョンが実行しているインタープリターのバージョンと異なる場合は、 RuntimeWarning を発生させます。

Return NULL with an exception set on error.

This function does not support slots. The m_slots member of def must be NULL.

注釈

ほとんどの場合、この関数ではなく PyModule_Create() を利用するべきです。この関数は、この関数の必要性を理解しているときにだけ利用してください。

PyObject *PyModule_FromDefAndSpec(PyModuleDef *def, PyObject *spec)
戻り値: 新しい参照。

This macro calls PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2() with module_api_version set to PYTHON_API_VERSION, or to PYTHON_ABI_VERSION if using the limited API.

Added in version 3.5.

PyObject *PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2(PyModuleDef *def, PyObject *spec, int module_api_version)
戻り値: 新しい参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.7 より).

APIバージョンを module_api_version として、 def と ModuleSpec オブジェクトの spec で定義されたとおりに新しいモジュールオブジェクトを生成します。 もし指定されたバージョンが実行しているインタープリターのバージョンと異なる場合は、 RuntimeWarning を発生させます。

Return NULL with an exception set on error.

Note that this does not process execution slots (Py_mod_exec). Both PyModule_FromDefAndSpec and PyModule_ExecDef must be called to fully initialize a module.

注釈

ほとんどの場合、この関数ではなく PyModule_FromDefAndSpec() を利用するべきです。 この関数は、この関数の必要性を理解しているときにだけ利用してください。

Added in version 3.5.

int PyModule_ExecDef(PyObject *module, PyModuleDef *def)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.7 より).

def で与えられた任意の実行スロット (Py_mod_exec) を実行します。

Added in version 3.5.

PYTHON_API_VERSION

The C API version. Defined for backwards compatibility.

Currently, this constant is not updated in new Python versions, and is not useful for versioning. This may change in the future.

PYTHON_ABI_VERSION

Defined as 3 for backwards compatibility.

Currently, this constant is not updated in new Python versions, and is not useful for versioning. This may change in the future.

サポート関数

The following functions are provided to help initialize a module state. They are intended for a module's execution slots (Py_mod_exec), the initialization function for legacy single-phase initialization, or code that creates modules dynamically.

int PyModule_AddObjectRef(PyObject *module, const char *name, PyObject *value)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.10 より).

module にオブジェクトを name として追加します。 この関数はモジュールの初期化関数から利用される便利関数です。

成功すると 0 を返し、エラーになると例外を送出して -1 を返します。

使用例:

static int
add_spam(PyObject *module, int value)
{
    PyObject *obj = PyLong_FromLong(value);
    if (obj == NULL) {
        return -1;
    }
    int res = PyModule_AddObjectRef(module, "spam", obj);
    Py_DECREF(obj);
    return res;
 }

To be convenient, the function accepts NULL value with an exception set. In this case, return -1 and just leave the raised exception unchanged.

この例は、明示的に objNULL であることを確認せずに書くこともできます:

static int
add_spam(PyObject *module, int value)
{
    PyObject *obj = PyLong_FromLong(value);
    int res = PyModule_AddObjectRef(module, "spam", obj);
    Py_XDECREF(obj);
    return res;
 }

この場合は、 objNULL でありうるため、 Py_DECREF() の代わりに Py_XDECREF() を呼び出す必要があることに注意してください。

The number of different name strings passed to this function should be kept small, usually by only using statically allocated strings as name. For names that aren't known at compile time, prefer calling PyUnicode_FromString() and PyObject_SetAttr() directly. For more details, see PyUnicode_InternFromString(), which may be used internally to create a key object.

Added in version 3.10.

int PyModule_Add(PyObject *module, const char *name, PyObject *value)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.13 より).

Similar to PyModule_AddObjectRef(), but "steals" a reference to value. It can be called with a result of function that returns a new reference without bothering to check its result or even saving it to a variable.

使用例:

if (PyModule_Add(module, "spam", PyBytes_FromString(value)) < 0) {
    goto error;
}

Added in version 3.13.

int PyModule_AddObject(PyObject *module, const char *name, PyObject *value)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

Similar to PyModule_AddObjectRef(), but steals a reference to value on success (if it returns 0).

The new PyModule_Add() or PyModule_AddObjectRef() functions are recommended, since it is easy to introduce reference leaks by misusing the PyModule_AddObject() function.

注釈

Unlike other functions that steal references, PyModule_AddObject() only releases the reference to value on success.

This means that its return value must be checked, and calling code must Py_XDECREF() value manually on error.

使用例:

PyObject *obj = PyBytes_FromString(value);
if (PyModule_AddObject(module, "spam", obj) < 0) {
    // If 'obj' is not NULL and PyModule_AddObject() failed,
    // 'obj' strong reference must be deleted with Py_XDECREF().
    // If 'obj' is NULL, Py_XDECREF() does nothing.
    Py_XDECREF(obj);
    goto error;
}
// PyModule_AddObject() stole a reference to obj:
// Py_XDECREF(obj) is not needed here.

Soft deprecated since version 3.13.

int PyModule_AddIntConstant(PyObject *module, const char *name, long value)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

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

This is a convenience function that calls PyLong_FromLong() and PyModule_AddObjectRef(); see their documentation for details.

int PyModule_AddStringConstant(PyObject *module, const char *name, const char *value)
次に属します: Stable ABI.

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 with an exception set on error, 0 on success.

This is a convenience function that calls PyUnicode_InternFromString() and PyModule_AddObjectRef(); see their documentation for details.

PyModule_AddIntMacro(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 with an exception set on error, 0 on success.

PyModule_AddStringMacro(module, macro)

文字列定数を module に追加します。

int PyModule_AddType(PyObject *module, PyTypeObject *type)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.10 より).

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 with an exception set on error, 0 on success.

Added in version 3.9.

int PyModule_AddFunctions(PyObject *module, PyMethodDef *functions)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.7 より).

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 (such as when using 多段階初期化, PyModule_Create, or PyModule_FromDefAndSpec). Some module authors may prefer defining functions in multiple PyMethodDef arrays; in that case they should call this function directly.

The functions array must be statically allocated (or otherwise guaranteed to outlive the module object).

Added in version 3.5.

int PyModule_SetDocString(PyObject *module, const char *docstring)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.7 より).

Set the docstring for module to docstring. This function is called automatically when creating a module from PyModuleDef (such as when using 多段階初期化, PyModule_Create, or PyModule_FromDefAndSpec).

Return 0 on success. Return -1 with an exception set on error.

Added in version 3.5.

int PyUnstable_Module_SetGIL(PyObject *module, void *gil)
これは Unstable APIです。マイナーリリースで予告なく変更されることがあります。

Indicate that module does or does not support running without the global interpreter lock (GIL), using one of the values from Py_mod_gil. It must be called during module's initialization function when using 従来の一段階初期化. If this function is not called during module initialization, the import machinery assumes the module does not support running without the GIL. This function is only available in Python builds configured with --disable-gil. Return -1 with an exception set on error, 0 on success.

Added in version 3.13.

Module lookup (single-phase initialization)

The legacy single-phase initialization initialization scheme 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.

多段階初期化を使うと単一の定義から複数のモジュールが作成できるので、これらの関数は多段階初期化を使って作成されたモジュールには使えません。

PyObject *PyState_FindModule(PyModuleDef *def)
戻り値: 借用参照。 次に属します: Stable ABI.

現在のインタプリタの def から作られたモジュールオブジェクトを返します。このメソッドの前提条件として、前もって PyState_AddModule() でインタプリタの state にモジュールオブジェクトを連結しておくことを要求します。対応するモジュールオブジェクトが見付からない、もしくは事前にインタプリタの state に連結されていない場合は、 NULL を返します。

int PyState_AddModule(PyObject *module, PyModuleDef *def)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.3 より).

関数に渡されたモジュールオブジェクトを、インタプリタの state に連結します。この関数を使うことで PyState_FindModule() からモジュールオブジェクトにアクセスできるようになります。

一段階初期化を使って作成されたモジュールにのみ有効です。

Python calls PyState_AddModule automatically after importing a module that uses single-phase initialization, 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).

If a module was attached previously using the same def, it is replaced by the new module.

The caller must have an attached thread state.

Return -1 with an exception set on error, 0 on success.

Added in version 3.3.

int PyState_RemoveModule(PyModuleDef *def)
次に属します: Stable ABI (バージョン 3.3 より).

Removes the module object created from def from the interpreter state. Return -1 with an exception set on error, 0 on success.

The caller must have an attached thread state.

Added in version 3.3.
