\chapter{Extension Reference}
From the viewpoint of of C access to Python services, we have:
\begin{enumerate}
\item "Very high level layer": two or three functions that let you exec or
eval arbitrary Python code given as a string in a module whose name is
given, passing C values in and getting C values out using
mkvalue/getargs style format strings. This does not require the user
to declare any variables of type "PyObject *". This should be enough
to write a simple application that gets Python code from the user,
execs it, and returns the output or errors.
\item "Abstract objects layer": which is the subject of this proposal.
It has many functions operating on objects, and lest you do many
things from C that you can also write in Python, without going
through the Python parser.
\item "Concrete objects layer": This is the public type-dependent
interface provided by the standard built-in types, such as floats,
strings, and lists. This interface exists and is currently
documented by the collection of include files provides with the
Python distributions.
From the point of view of Python accessing services provided by C
modules:
\item "Python module interface": this interface consist of the basic
routines used to define modules and their members. Most of the
current extensions-writing guide deals with this interface.
\item "Built-in object interface": this is the interface that a new
built-in type must provide and the mechanisms and rules that a
developer of a new built-in type must use and follow.
\end{enumerate}
The Python C object interface provides four protocols: object,
numeric, sequence, and mapping. Each protocol consists of a
collection of related operations. If an operation that is not
provided by a particular type is invoked, then a standard exception,
NotImplementedError is raised with a operation name as an argument.
In addition, for convenience this interface defines a set of
constructors for building objects of built-in types. This is needed
so new objects can be returned from C functions that otherwise treat
objects generically.
