.. c:function:: int PyCoro_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)

   Return true if *ob*'s type is :c:type:`PyCoro_Type`; *ob* must not be ``NULL``.


.. c:function:: PyObject* PyCoro_New(PyFrameObject *frame, PyObject *name, PyObject *qualname)

   Create and return a new coroutine object based on the *frame* object,
