摘要
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented programming language. This document describes how to write modules in C or C++ to extend the Python interpreter with new modules. Those modules can define new functions but also new object types and their methods. The document also describes how to embed the Python interpreter in another application, for use as an extension language. Finally, it shows how to compile and link extension modules so that they can be loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter, if the underlying operating system supports this feature.
本文档描述了如何使用C或C++撰写Python 解释器扩展模块.这些模块能够定义新的函数,新对象类型和其方法.本文档描述如何将Python 解释器嵌入到其它程序里,作为扩展语言.最后,展示了如何编译和链接扩展模块以使它们动态载入到解释器里.
This document assumes basic knowledge about Python. For an informal introduction to the language, see the Python Tutorial. The Python Reference Manual gives a more formal definition of the language. The Python Library Reference documents the existing object types, functions and modules (both built-in and written in Python) that give the language its wide application range.
本文档假定熟悉 Python基本知识.
