used to define Python objects.

Fred Drake 68304ccce3 Move reference material on PyArg_Parse*() out of the Extending & Embedding
document to the C API reference.  Move some instructional text from the API
reference to the Extending & Embedding manual.

Fix the descriptions of the es and es# formats for PyArg_Parse*().
This closes SF bug #536516.

Fred Drake 7bf9715a8b Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef method
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type.  These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive.  Most methods will not
use either.  These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.

If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.

If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.

These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

Fred Drake 3570551d6f Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair
of references that now state that these attributes have been removed,
directing the reader to the dir() function.
This closes SF bug #456420.

Fred Drake 50ecc15d05 Add omitted word for clarity. 2001-11-17 06:39:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 3adf79e3e2 Break the Python/C API manual into smaller files by chapter. This manual
has grown beyond what font-lock will work with using the default (X)Emacs
settings.

Indentation of the description has been made consistent, and a number of
smaller markup adjustments have been made as well.
