Eric Snow eca53620e3 gh-94673: Clarify About Runtime State Related to Static Builtin Types (gh-117761) Guido pointed out to me that some details about the per-interpreter state for the builtin types aren't especially clear. I'm addressing that by: * adding a comment explaining that state * adding some asserts to point out the relationship between each index and the interp/global runtime state		2024-04-12 16:39:27 -06:00

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
