The basic usage goes like this: Instead of doing r = PyObject_CallMethod(o, "foo", "args", ...); do _Py_IDENTIFIER(foo); ... r = _PyObject_CallMethodId(o, &PyId_foo, "args", ...); PyId_foo is a static variable, either on block level or file level. On first usage, the string "foo" is interned, and the structures are linked. On interpreter shutdown, all strings are released. Alternatively, _Py_static_string allows choosing the variable name. _PyUnicode_FromId returns a borrowed reference to the interned string. _PyObject_{Get,Set,Has}AttrId are __getattr__ versions using _Py_Identifier*. */ typedef struct _Py_Identifier { const char* string; // Index in PyInterpreterState.unicode.ids.array.
