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 :c:func:`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.

Issue #24400: Introduce a distinct type for 'async def' coroutines. Summary of changes: 1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject. PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators machinery. The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'. As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is no longer applied to coroutines. 2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add an __await__ method to the type. Although it is not used by the interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs. [The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.] 3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER. The opcode is needed to allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode. Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to: (o) GET_ITER LOAD_CONST YIELD_FROM Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER. The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing a coroutine object is invalid. 4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module: getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c). 5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native coroutine object. Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine, and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions should really be tailored for checking for native types. 6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only native coroutines. Since types.coroutine decorator supports any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does not work for all types of coroutines. 7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated to raise clearer messages for coroutines: Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration") After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")
