7.1.1 Type Objects

 

PyTypeObject
The C structure of the objects used to describe built-in types.

PyObject* PyType_Type
This is the type object for type objects; it is the same object as types.TypeType in the Python layer.  

int PyType_Check(PyObject *o)
Returns true if the object o is a type object, including instances of types derived from the standard type object. Returns false in all other cases.

int PyType_HasFeature(PyObject *o, int feature)
Returns true if the type object o sets the feature feature. Type features are denoted by single bit flags.

int PyType_IS_GC(PyObject *o)
Return true if the type object includes support for the cycle detector; this tests the type flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC. New in version 2.0.
