single: Py_Finalize()
Initialize the Python interpreter. In an application embedding Python, this
should be called before using any other Python/C API functions; with the
exception of :cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName`, :cfunc:`PyEval_InitThreads`,
:cfunc:`PyEval_ReleaseLock`, and :cfunc:`PyEval_AcquireLock`. This initializes
the table of loaded modules (``sys.modules``), and creates the fundamental
modules :mod:`builtins`, :mod:`__main__` and :mod:`sys`. It also initializes
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
the module search path (``sys.path``). It does not set ``sys.argv``; use
:cfunc:`PySys_SetArgvEx` for that. This is a no-op when called for a second time
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
(without calling :cfunc:`Py_Finalize` first). There is no return value; it is a
fatal error if the initialization fails.
.. cfunction:: void Py_InitializeEx(int initsigs)
This function works like :cfunc:`Py_Initialize` if *initsigs* is 1. If
*initsigs* is 0, it skips initialization registration of signal handlers, which
might be useful when Python is embedded.
.. cfunction:: int Py_IsInitialized()
Return true (nonzero) when the Python interpreter has been initialized, false
(zero) if not. After :cfunc:`Py_Finalize` is called, this returns false until
:cfunc:`Py_Initialize` is called again.
.. cfunction:: void Py_Finalize()
Undo all initializations made by :cfunc:`Py_Initialize` and subsequent use of
Python/C API functions, and destroy all sub-interpreters (see
:cfunc:`Py_NewInterpreter` below) that were created and not yet destroyed since
the last call to :cfunc:`Py_Initialize`. Ideally, this frees all memory
allocated by the Python interpreter. This is a no-op when called for a second
time (without calling :cfunc:`Py_Initialize` again first). There is no return
value; errors during finalization are ignored.
This function is provided for a number of reasons. An embedding application
might want to restart Python without having to restart the application itself.
An application that has loaded the Python interpreter from a dynamically
loadable library (or DLL) might want to free all memory allocated by Python
before unloading the DLL. During a hunt for memory leaks in an application a
developer might want to free all memory allocated by Python before exiting from
the application.
**Bugs and caveats:** The destruction of modules and objects in modules is done
in random order; this may cause destructors (:meth:`__del__` methods) to fail
when they depend on other objects (even functions) or modules. Dynamically
loaded extension modules loaded by Python are not unloaded. Small amounts of
memory allocated by the Python interpreter may not be freed (if you find a leak,
please report it). Memory tied up in circular references between objects is not
freed. Some memory allocated by extension modules may not be freed. Some
extensions may not work properly if their initialization routine is called more
than once; this can happen if an application calls :cfunc:`Py_Initialize` and
:cfunc:`Py_Finalize` more than once.
.. cfunction:: PyThreadState* Py_NewInterpreter()
.. index::
module: builtins
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
module: __main__
module: sys
single: stdout (in module sys)
single: stderr (in module sys)
single: stdin (in module sys)
Create a new sub-interpreter. This is an (almost) totally separate environment
for the execution of Python code. In particular, the new interpreter has
separate, independent versions of all imported modules, including the
fundamental modules :mod:`builtins`, :mod:`__main__` and :mod:`sys`. The
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
table of loaded modules (``sys.modules``) and the module search path
(``sys.path``) are also separate. The new environment has no ``sys.argv``
variable. It has new standard I/O stream file objects ``sys.stdin``,
``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr`` (however these refer to the same underlying
:ctype:`FILE` structures in the C library).
The return value points to the first thread state created in the new
sub-interpreter. This thread state is made in the current thread state.
Note that no actual thread is created; see the discussion of thread states
below. If creation of the new interpreter is unsuccessful, *NULL* is
returned; no exception is set since the exception state is stored in the
current thread state and there may not be a current thread state. (Like all
other Python/C API functions, the global interpreter lock must be held before
calling this function and is still held when it returns; however, unlike most
other Python/C API functions, there needn't be a current thread state on
entry.)
.. index::
single: Py_Finalize()
single: Py_Initialize()
Extension modules are shared between (sub-)interpreters as follows: the first
time a particular extension is imported, it is initialized normally, and a
(shallow) copy of its module's dictionary is squirreled away. When the same
extension is imported by another (sub-)interpreter, a new module is initialized
and filled with the contents of this copy; the extension's ``init`` function is
not called. Note that this is different from what happens when an extension is
imported after the interpreter has been completely re-initialized by calling
:cfunc:`Py_Finalize` and :cfunc:`Py_Initialize`; in that case, the extension's
``initmodule`` function *is* called again.
.. index:: single: close() (in module os)
**Bugs and caveats:** Because sub-interpreters (and the main interpreter) are
part of the same process, the insulation between them isn't perfect --- for
example, using low-level file operations like :func:`os.close` they can
(accidentally or maliciously) affect each other's open files. Because of the
way extensions are shared between (sub-)interpreters, some extensions may not
work properly; this is especially likely when the extension makes use of
(static) global variables, or when the extension manipulates its module's
dictionary after its initialization. It is possible to insert objects created
in one sub-interpreter into a namespace of another sub-interpreter; this should
be done with great care to avoid sharing user-defined functions, methods,
instances or classes between sub-interpreters, since import operations executed
by such objects may affect the wrong (sub-)interpreter's dictionary of loaded
modules. (XXX This is a hard-to-fix bug that will be addressed in a future
release.)
Also note that the use of this functionality is incompatible with extension
modules such as PyObjC and ctypes that use the :cfunc:`PyGILState_\*` APIs (and
this is inherent in the way the :cfunc:`PyGILState_\*` functions work). Simple
things may work, but confusing behavior will always be near.
.. cfunction:: void Py_EndInterpreter(PyThreadState *tstate)
.. index:: single: Py_Finalize()
Destroy the (sub-)interpreter represented by the given thread state. The given
thread state must be the current thread state. See the discussion of thread
states below. When the call returns, the current thread state is *NULL*. All
thread states associated with this interpreter are destroyed. (The global
interpreter lock must be held before calling this function and is still held
when it returns.) :cfunc:`Py_Finalize` will destroy all sub-interpreters that
haven't been explicitly destroyed at that point.
.. cfunction:: void Py_SetProgramName(wchar_t *name)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. index::
single: Py_Initialize()
single: main()
single: Py_GetPath()
This function should be called before :cfunc:`Py_Initialize` is called for
the first time, if it is called at all. It tells the interpreter the value
of the ``argv[0]`` argument to the :cfunc:`main` function of the program
(converted to wide characters).
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
This is used by :cfunc:`Py_GetPath` and some other functions below to find
the Python run-time libraries relative to the interpreter executable. The
default value is ``'python'``. The argument should point to a
zero-terminated wide character string in static storage whose contents will not
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
change for the duration of the program's execution. No code in the Python
interpreter will change the contents of this storage.
2008-08-17 15:57:58 -03:00
.. cfunction:: wchar* Py_GetProgramName()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. index:: single: Py_SetProgramName()
Return the program name set with :cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName`, or the default.
The returned string points into static storage; the caller should not modify its
value.
.. cfunction:: wchar_t* Py_GetPrefix()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return the *prefix* for installed platform-independent files. This is derived
through a number of complicated rules from the program name set with
:cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName` and some environment variables; for example, if the
program name is ``'/usr/local/bin/python'``, the prefix is ``'/usr/local'``. The
returned string points into static storage; the caller should not modify its
value. This corresponds to the :makevar:`prefix` variable in the top-level
:file:`Makefile` and the :option:`--prefix` argument to the :program:`configure`
script at build time. The value is available to Python code as ``sys.prefix``.
It is only useful on Unix. See also the next function.
.. cfunction:: wchar_t* Py_GetExecPrefix()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return the *exec-prefix* for installed platform-*dependent* files. This is
derived through a number of complicated rules from the program name set with
:cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName` and some environment variables; for example, if the
program name is ``'/usr/local/bin/python'``, the exec-prefix is
``'/usr/local'``. The returned string points into static storage; the caller
should not modify its value. This corresponds to the :makevar:`exec_prefix`
variable in the top-level :file:`Makefile` and the :option:`--exec-prefix`
argument to the :program:`configure` script at build time. The value is
available to Python code as ``sys.exec_prefix``. It is only useful on Unix.
Background: The exec-prefix differs from the prefix when platform dependent
files (such as executables and shared libraries) are installed in a different
directory tree. In a typical installation, platform dependent files may be
installed in the :file:`/usr/local/plat` subtree while platform independent may
be installed in :file:`/usr/local`.
Generally speaking, a platform is a combination of hardware and software
families, e.g. Sparc machines running the Solaris 2.x operating system are
considered the same platform, but Intel machines running Solaris 2.x are another
platform, and Intel machines running Linux are yet another platform. Different
major revisions of the same operating system generally also form different
platforms. Non-Unix operating systems are a different story; the installation
strategies on those systems are so different that the prefix and exec-prefix are
meaningless, and set to the empty string. Note that compiled Python bytecode
files are platform independent (but not independent from the Python version by
which they were compiled!).
System administrators will know how to configure the :program:`mount` or
:program:`automount` programs to share :file:`/usr/local` between platforms
while having :file:`/usr/local/plat` be a different filesystem for each
platform.
.. cfunction:: wchar_t* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. index::
single: Py_SetProgramName()
single: executable (in module sys)
Return the full program name of the Python executable; this is computed as a
side-effect of deriving the default module search path from the program name
(set by :cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName` above). The returned string points into
static storage; the caller should not modify its value. The value is available
to Python code as ``sys.executable``.
.. cfunction:: wchar_t* Py_GetPath()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. index::
triple: module; search; path
single: path (in module sys)
Return the default module search path; this is computed from the program name
(set by :cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName` above) and some environment variables.
The returned string consists of a series of directory names separated by a
platform dependent delimiter character. The delimiter character is ``':'``
on Unix and Mac OS X, ``';'`` on Windows. The returned string points into
static storage; the caller should not modify its value. The list
:data:`sys.path` is initialized with this value on interpreter startup; it
can be (and usually is) modified later to change the search path for loading
modules.

.. XXX should give the exact rules
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. cfunction:: const char* Py_GetVersion()
Return the version of this Python interpreter. This is a string that looks
something like ::
"3.0a5+ (py3k:63103M, May 12 2008, 00:53:55) \n[GCC 4.2.3]"
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. index:: single: version (in module sys)
The first word (up to the first space character) is the current Python version;
the first three characters are the major and minor version separated by a
period. The returned string points into static storage; the caller should not
modify its value. The value is available to Python code as :data:`sys.version`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. cfunction:: const char* Py_GetPlatform()
.. index:: single: platform (in module sys)
Return the platform identifier for the current platform. On Unix, this is
formed from the "official" name of the operating system, converted to lower
case, followed by the major revision number; e.g., for Solaris 2.x, which is
also known as SunOS 5.x, the value is ``'sunos5'``. On Mac OS X, it is
``'darwin'``. On Windows, it is ``'win'``. The returned string points into
static storage; the caller should not modify its value. The value is available
to Python code as ``sys.platform``.
.. cfunction:: const char* Py_GetCopyright()
Return the official copyright string for the current Python version, for example
``'Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam'``
.. index:: single: copyright (in module sys)
The returned string points into static storage; the caller should not modify its
value. The value is available to Python code as ``sys.copyright``.
.. cfunction:: const char* Py_GetCompiler()
Return an indication of the compiler used to build the current Python version,
in square brackets, for example::
"[GCC 2.7.2.2]"
.. index:: single: version (in module sys)
The returned string points into static storage; the caller should not modify its
value. The value is available to Python code as part of the variable
``sys.version``.
.. cfunction:: const char* Py_GetBuildInfo()
Return information about the sequence number and build date and time of the
current Python interpreter instance, for example ::
"#67, Aug 1 1997, 22:34:28"
.. index:: single: version (in module sys)
The returned string points into static storage; the caller should not modify its
value. The value is available to Python code as part of the variable
``sys.version``.
.. cfunction:: void PySys_SetArgvEx(int argc, wchar_t **argv, int updatepath)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00

Set :data:`sys.argv` based on *argc* and *argv*. These parameters are
similar to those passed to the program's :cfunc:`main` function with the
difference that the first entry should refer to the script file to be
executed rather than the executable hosting the Python interpreter. If there
isn't a script that will be run, the first entry in *argv* can be an empty
string. If this function fails to initialize :data:`sys.argv`, a fatal
condition is signalled using :cfunc:`Py_FatalError`.
If *updatepath* is zero, this is all the function does. If *updatepath*
is non-zero, the function also modifies :data:`sys.path` according to the
following algorithm:
- If the name of an existing script is passed in ``argv[0]``, the absolute
path of the directory where the script is located is prepended to
:data:`sys.path`.
- Otherwise (that is, if *argc* is 0 or ``argv[0]`` doesn't point
to an existing file name), an empty string is prepended to
:data:`sys.path`, which is the same as prepending the current working
directory (``"."``).
.. note::
It is recommended that applications embedding the Python interpreter
for purposes other than executing a single script pass 0 as *updatepath*,
and update :data:`sys.path` themselves if desired.
See `CVE-2008-5983 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5983>`_.
On versions before 3.1.3, you can achieve the same effect by manually
popping the first :data:`sys.path` element after having called
:cfunc:`PySys_SetArgv`, for example using::
PyRun_SimpleString("import sys; sys.path.pop(0)\n");

multi-threaded Python programs, there's a global lock, called the :dfn:`global
interpreter lock` or :dfn:`GIL`, that must be held by the current thread before
it can safely access Python objects. Without the lock, even the simplest
operations could cause problems in a multi-threaded program: for example, when
two threads simultaneously increment the reference count of the same object, the
reference count could end up being incremented only once instead of twice.

.. index:: single: setcheckinterval() (in module sys)
Therefore, the rule exists that only the thread that has acquired the global
interpreter lock may operate on Python objects or call Python/C API functions.
In order to support multi-threaded Python programs, the interpreter regularly
releases and reacquires the lock --- by default, every 100 bytecode instructions
(this can be changed with :func:`sys.setcheckinterval`). The lock is also
released and reacquired around potentially blocking I/O operations like reading
or writing a file, so that other threads can run while the thread that requests
the I/O is waiting for the I/O operation to complete.
.. index::
single: PyThreadState
single: PyThreadState
The Python interpreter needs to keep some bookkeeping information separate per

The :cmacro:`Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS` macro opens a new block and declares a

block. Another advantage of using these two macros is that when Python is

state and GIL manipulations.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
When thread support is enabled, the block above expands to the following code::
PyThreadState *_save;
_save = PyEval_SaveThread();
...Do some blocking I/O operation...
PyEval_RestoreThread(_save);
Using even lower level primitives, we can get roughly the same effect as
follows::
PyThreadState *_save;
_save = PyThreadState_Swap(NULL);
PyEval_ReleaseLock();
...Do some blocking I/O operation...
PyEval_AcquireLock();
PyThreadState_Swap(_save);
.. index::
single: PyEval_RestoreThread()
single: errno
single: PyEval_SaveThread()
single: PyEval_ReleaseLock()
single: PyEval_AcquireLock()
There are some subtle differences; in particular, :cfunc:`PyEval_RestoreThread`
saves and restores the value of the global variable :cdata:`errno`, since the
lock manipulation does not guarantee that :cdata:`errno` is left alone. Also,
when thread support is disabled, :cfunc:`PyEval_SaveThread` and

2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:cfunc:`PyEval_ReleaseLock` and :cfunc:`PyEval_AcquireLock` are not available.
This is done so that dynamically loaded extensions compiled with thread support
enabled can be loaded by an interpreter that was compiled with disabled thread
support.
The global interpreter lock is used to protect the pointer to the current thread
state. When releasing the lock and saving the thread state, the current thread
state pointer must be retrieved before the lock is released (since another
thread could immediately acquire the lock and store its own thread state in the
global variable). Conversely, when acquiring the lock and restoring the thread
state, the lock must be acquired before storing the thread state pointer.
It is important to note that when threads are created from C, they don't have
the global interpreter lock, nor is there a thread state data structure for
them. Such threads must bootstrap themselves into existence, by first
creating a thread state data structure, then acquiring the lock, and finally
storing their thread state pointer, before they can start using the Python/C
API. When they are done, they should reset the thread state pointer, release
the lock, and finally free their thread state data structure.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Threads can take advantage of the :cfunc:`PyGILState_\*` functions to do all of
the above automatically. The typical idiom for calling into Python from a C
thread is now::
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
PyGILState_STATE gstate;
gstate = PyGILState_Ensure();
/* Perform Python actions here. */
result = CallSomeFunction();
/* evaluate result */
/* Release the thread. No Python API allowed beyond this point. */
PyGILState_Release(gstate);
Note that the :cfunc:`PyGILState_\*` functions assume there is only one global
interpreter (created automatically by :cfunc:`Py_Initialize`). Python still
supports the creation of additional interpreters (using
:cfunc:`Py_NewInterpreter`), but mixing multiple interpreters and the
:cfunc:`PyGILState_\*` API is unsupported.

This prevents other threads from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data. This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time. This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while holding the import lock. Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change. ........ ................

Another important thing to note about threads is their behaviour in the face
of the C :cfunc:`fork` call. On most systems with :cfunc:`fork`, after a
process forks only the thread that issued the fork will exist. That also
means any locks held by other threads will never be released. Python solves
this for :func:`os.fork` by acquiring the locks it uses internally before
the fork, and releasing them afterwards. In addition, it resets any
:ref:`lock-objects` in the child. When extending or embedding Python, there
is no way to inform Python of additional (non-Python) locks that need to be
acquired before or reset after a fork. OS facilities such as
:cfunc:`posix_atfork` would need to be used to accomplish the same thing.
Additionally, when extending or embedding Python, calling :cfunc:`fork`
directly rather than through :func:`os.fork` (and returning to or calling
into Python) may result in a deadlock by one of Python's internal locks
being held by a thread that is defunct after the fork.
:cfunc:`PyOS_AfterFork` tries to reset the necessary locks, but is not
always able to.

.. ctype:: PyInterpreterState
This data structure represents the state shared by a number of cooperating
threads. Threads belonging to the same interpreter share their module
administration and a few other internal items. There are no public members in
this structure.
Threads belonging to different interpreters initially share nothing, except
process state like available memory, open file descriptors and such. The global
interpreter lock is also shared by all threads, regardless of to which
interpreter they belong.
.. ctype:: PyThreadState
This data structure represents the state of a single thread. The only public
data member is :ctype:`PyInterpreterState \*`:attr:`interp`, which points to
this thread's interpreter state.
.. cfunction:: void PyEval_InitThreads()
.. index::
single: PyEval_ReleaseLock()
single: PyEval_ReleaseThread()
single: PyEval_SaveThread()
single: PyEval_RestoreThread()
Initialize and acquire the global interpreter lock. It should be called in the
main thread before creating a second thread or engaging in any other thread
operations such as :cfunc:`PyEval_ReleaseLock` or
``PyEval_ReleaseThread(tstate)``. It is not needed before calling
:cfunc:`PyEval_SaveThread` or :cfunc:`PyEval_RestoreThread`.
.. index:: single: Py_Initialize()
This is a no-op when called for a second time. It is safe to call this function
before calling :cfunc:`Py_Initialize`.

operations slow the interpreter down a bit. Therefore, the lock is not
created initially. This situation is equivalent to having acquired the lock:
when there is only a single thread, all object accesses are safe. Therefore,
when this function initializes the global interpreter lock, it also acquires
it. Before the Python :mod:`_thread` module creates a new thread, knowing
that either it has the lock or the lock hasn't been created yet, it calls
:cfunc:`PyEval_InitThreads`. When this call returns, it is guaranteed that
the lock has been created and that the calling thread has acquired it.

It is **not** safe to call this function when it is unknown which thread (if
any) currently has the global interpreter lock.

.. cfunction:: void PyEval_ReInitThreads()
This function is called from :cfunc:`PyOS_AfterFork` to ensure that newly
created child processes don't hold locks referring to threads which
are not running in the child process.

The following macros are normally used without a trailing semicolon; look for
example usage in the Python source distribution.
.. cmacro:: Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
This macro expands to ``{ PyThreadState *_save; _save = PyEval_SaveThread();``.
Note that it contains an opening brace; it must be matched with a following
:cmacro:`Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS` macro. See above for further discussion of this
macro. It is a no-op when thread support is disabled at compile time.
.. cmacro:: Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
This macro expands to ``PyEval_RestoreThread(_save); }``. Note that it contains
a closing brace; it must be matched with an earlier
:cmacro:`Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS` macro. See above for further discussion of
this macro. It is a no-op when thread support is disabled at compile time.
.. cmacro:: Py_BLOCK_THREADS
This macro expands to ``PyEval_RestoreThread(_save);``: it is equivalent to
:cmacro:`Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS` without the closing brace. It is a no-op when
thread support is disabled at compile time.
.. cmacro:: Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS
This macro expands to ``_save = PyEval_SaveThread();``: it is equivalent to
:cmacro:`Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS` without the opening brace and variable
declaration. It is a no-op when thread support is disabled at compile time.
All of the following functions are only available when thread support is enabled

.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyThreadState_GetDict()
Return a dictionary in which extensions can store thread-specific state
information. Each extension should use a unique key to use to store state in
the dictionary. It is okay to call this function when no current thread state
is available. If this function returns *NULL*, no exception has been raised and
the caller should assume no current thread state is available.
.. cfunction:: int PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(long id, PyObject *exc)
Asynchronously raise an exception in a thread. The *id* argument is the thread
id of the target thread; *exc* is the exception object to be raised. This
function does not steal any references to *exc*. To prevent naive misuse, you
must write your own C extension to call this. Must be called with the GIL held.
Returns the number of thread states modified; this is normally one, but will be
zero if the thread id isn't found. If *exc* is :const:`NULL`, the pending
exception (if any) for the thread is cleared. This raises no exceptions.

Ensure that the current thread is ready to call the Python C API regardless
of the current state of Python, or of the global interpreter lock. This may
be called as many times as desired by a thread as long as each call is
matched with a call to :cfunc:`PyGILState_Release`. In general, other
thread-related APIs may be used between :cfunc:`PyGILState_Ensure` and
:cfunc:`PyGILState_Release` calls as long as the thread state is restored to
its previous state before the Release(). For example, normal usage of the
:cmacro:`Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS` and :cmacro:`Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS` macros is
acceptable.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The return value is an opaque "handle" to the thread state when
2008-10-10 21:49:57 -03:00
:cfunc:`PyGILState_Ensure` was called, and must be passed to
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:cfunc:`PyGILState_Release` to ensure Python is left in the same state. Even
though recursive calls are allowed, these handles *cannot* be shared - each
2008-10-10 21:49:57 -03:00
unique call to :cfunc:`PyGILState_Ensure` must save the handle for its call
to :cfunc:`PyGILState_Release`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
When the function returns, the current thread will hold the GIL. Failure is a
fatal error.
.. cfunction:: void PyGILState_Release(PyGILState_STATE)
Release any resources previously acquired. After this call, Python's state will
be the same as it was prior to the corresponding :cfunc:`PyGILState_Ensure` call
(but generally this state will be unknown to the caller, hence the use of the
GILState API.)
Every call to :cfunc:`PyGILState_Ensure` must be matched by a call to
:cfunc:`PyGILState_Release` on the same thread.

Post a notification to the Python main thread. If successful, *func* will be
called with the argument *arg* at the earliest convenience. *func* will be
called having the global interpreter lock held and can thus use the full
Python API and can take any action such as setting object attributes to
signal IO completion. It must return 0 on success, or -1 signalling an
exception. The notification function won't be interrupted to perform another
asynchronous notification recursively, but it can still be interrupted to
switch threads if the global interpreter lock is released, for example, if it
calls back into Python code.
This function returns 0 on success in which case the notification has been

.. _profiling:
Profiling and Tracing
=====================
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
The Python interpreter provides some low-level support for attaching profiling
and execution tracing facilities. These are used for profiling, debugging, and
coverage analysis tools.
This C interface allows the profiling or tracing code to avoid the overhead of
calling through Python-level callable objects, making a direct C function call
instead. The essential attributes of the facility have not changed; the
interface allows trace functions to be installed per-thread, and the basic
events reported to the trace function are the same as had been reported to the
Python-level trace functions in previous versions.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. ctype:: int (*Py_tracefunc)(PyObject *obj, PyFrameObject *frame, int what, PyObject *arg)
The type of the trace function registered using :cfunc:`PyEval_SetProfile` and
:cfunc:`PyEval_SetTrace`. The first parameter is the object passed to the
registration function as *obj*, *frame* is the frame object to which the event
pertains, *what* is one of the constants :const:`PyTrace_CALL`,
:const:`PyTrace_EXCEPTION`, :const:`PyTrace_LINE`, :const:`PyTrace_RETURN`,
:const:`PyTrace_C_CALL`, :const:`PyTrace_C_EXCEPTION`, or
:const:`PyTrace_C_RETURN`, and *arg* depends on the value of *what*:
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Value of *what* | Meaning of *arg* |
+==============================+======================================+
| :const:`PyTrace_CALL` | Always *NULL*. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :const:`PyTrace_EXCEPTION` | Exception information as returned by |
| | :func:`sys.exc_info`. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :const:`PyTrace_LINE` | Always *NULL*. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :const:`PyTrace_RETURN` | Value being returned to the caller. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :const:`PyTrace_C_CALL` | Name of function being called. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :const:`PyTrace_C_EXCEPTION` | Always *NULL*. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :const:`PyTrace_C_RETURN` | Always *NULL*. |
+------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
.. cvar:: int PyTrace_CALL
The value of the *what* parameter to a :ctype:`Py_tracefunc` function when a new
call to a function or method is being reported, or a new entry into a generator.
Note that the creation of the iterator for a generator function is not reported
as there is no control transfer to the Python bytecode in the corresponding
frame.
.. cvar:: int PyTrace_EXCEPTION
The value of the *what* parameter to a :ctype:`Py_tracefunc` function when an
exception has been raised. The callback function is called with this value for
*what* when after any bytecode is processed after which the exception becomes
set within the frame being executed. The effect of this is that as exception
propagation causes the Python stack to unwind, the callback is called upon
return to each frame as the exception propagates. Only trace functions receives
these events; they are not needed by the profiler.
.. cvar:: int PyTrace_LINE
The value passed as the *what* parameter to a trace function (but not a
profiling function) when a line-number event is being reported.
.. cvar:: int PyTrace_RETURN
The value for the *what* parameter to :ctype:`Py_tracefunc` functions when a
call is returning without propagating an exception.
.. cvar:: int PyTrace_C_CALL
The value for the *what* parameter to :ctype:`Py_tracefunc` functions when a C
function is about to be called.
.. cvar:: int PyTrace_C_EXCEPTION

.. cvar:: int PyTrace_C_RETURN
The value for the *what* parameter to :ctype:`Py_tracefunc` functions when a C

.. cfunction:: void PyEval_SetProfile(Py_tracefunc func, PyObject *obj)
Set the profiler function to *func*. The *obj* parameter is passed to the
function as its first parameter, and may be any Python object, or *NULL*. If
the profile function needs to maintain state, using a different value for *obj*
for each thread provides a convenient and thread-safe place to store it. The
profile function is called for all monitored events except the line-number
events.
.. cfunction:: void PyEval_SetTrace(Py_tracefunc func, PyObject *obj)
Set the tracing function to *func*. This is similar to
:cfunc:`PyEval_SetProfile`, except the tracing function does receive line-number
events.

:const:`PCALL_FAST_FUNCTION` means no argument tuple needs to be created.
:const:`PCALL_FASTER_FUNCTION` means that the fast-path frame setup code is used.
If there is a method call where the call can be optimized by changing
the argument tuple and calling the function directly, it gets recorded
twice.
This function is only present if Python is compiled with :const:`CALL_PROFILE`
defined.
