Perhaps, the remark about `C++ extensions`_ or `Embedding in C++`_ in the 
`Extending and Embedding`_ docs (described on doc.python.org as a 
"tutorial for C/C++ programmers") can help.

Depending on your level of embedding, those random annotations spread 
over the extending docs, found with a little patience and ctrl+f, might 
help:

  * "In C++, the operators new and delete are used with essentially the 
same meaning and we'll restrict the following discussion to the C case." 
-- `1.10 Reference counts <http://docs.python.org/ext/refcounts.html>`_
  * "Note that PyMODINIT_FUNC declares the function as void return type, 
declares any special linkage declarations required by the platform, and 
for C++ declares the function as extern "C"." -- `1.4 The Module's Method 
Table and Initialization Function <http://docs.python.org/ext/
methodTable.html>`_
