Re: [capi-sig] Does Py_False or Py_True need de-referencing if used in a PyObject_Compare?

by Campbell Barton

It depends, sometimes you wont want to allow this for attribute assignment since it can be misleading. eg: foo.bar = [] On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 3:45 AM, Gustavo Carneiro <gjcarneiro(a)gmail.com> wrote: > You are not wrong.

Looking for an opportunity to work with the Python CAPI

by Robert Steckroth

I apologize if this post is a little spamy, but if there are any professionals who can point me towards a starting position in regards to this industry, I would be grateful. If not, what type of companies use the Python CAPI? -- Bust0ut, Surgemcgee: Systems Engineer --- surgemcgee.com Django_Teamplate3d

You are not wrong. On the other hand, I often depend on the fact that an empty list or dictionary is false, and true if not empty. It is quite convenient, and I find it reasonably logical.

Take care using PyObject_IsTrue since it will accept many PyObject's (floats, lists, dicts etc), if you want to be strict with checking your input its not always so good. Instead you can use PyLong_AsLong() this works for True/False and any int type. eg: int param = PyLong_AsLong(value); if (param == -1 && PyErr_Occurred()) { .... error out ... } ... check the int now ...

The python api docs will often say if they use/steal references. If your not sure you could just printf("%d\n", Py_REFCNT(Py_False)); before and after calling.

They are like any other object, i.e. they need reference counting. > It seem to be fine even if the object is set from a argument. Hmmm... That's a different case. As long as you are sure that someone (better you) owns a reference to the object that you pass as argument, you don't need to increase its refcount just for the call. That's easy to get wrong, though. >> Does the below statement have a memory leak? >> >> if ( PyObject_Compare(update_var, Py_False) Why should it? >> Do I need to assign the Py_False first and DECREF it, or is the above >> snippet ok alone. I keep being surprised by what some people take their fun in programming from. Good to see that you're getting actual functionality done regardless. Stefan

Depends on exactly what you are trying to achieve, but you might want to look at the atexit module. Py3 additionally has the PyModuleDef setup which allows you to clean up module globals at exactly the right time on interpreter tear down. It basically implements garbage collection for modules. (Shameless hint: Cython cleans up global variables for you automatically and chooses the right way to do so based on the capabilities of the current runtime.) Stefan
