+Number Protocol
+===============
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyNumber_Check(PyObject *o)
+
+ Returns ``1`` if the object *o* provides numeric protocols, and false otherwise.
+ This function always succeeds.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Add(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the result of adding *o1* and *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. This is the
+ equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 + o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Subtract(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the result of subtracting *o2* from *o1*, or *NULL* on failure. This is
+ the equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 - o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Multiply(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the result of multiplying *o1* and *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. This is
+ the equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 * o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Divide(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the result of dividing *o1* by *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. This is the
+ equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 / o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_FloorDivide(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Return the floor of *o1* divided by *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. This is
+ equivalent to the "classic" division of integers.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.2
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_TrueDivide(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Return a reasonable approximation for the mathematical value of *o1* divided by
+ *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. The return value is "approximate" because binary
+ floating point numbers are approximate; it is not possible to represent all real
+ numbers in base two. This function can return a floating point value when
+ passed two integers.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.2
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Remainder(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the remainder of dividing *o1* by *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. This is

+ See the built-in function :func:`pow`. Returns *NULL* on failure. This is the
+ equivalent of the Python expression ``pow(o1, o2, o3)``, where *o3* is optional.
+ If *o3* is to be ignored, pass :cdata:`Py_None` in its place (passing *NULL* for
+ *o3* would cause an illegal memory access).
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Negative(PyObject *o)
+
+ Returns the negation of *o* on success, or *NULL* on failure. This is the
+ equivalent of the Python expression ``-o``.

+ Python expression ``+o``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Absolute(PyObject *o)
+

+
+ Returns the absolute value of *o*, or *NULL* on failure. This is the equivalent
+ of the Python expression ``abs(o)``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Invert(PyObject *o)
+
+ Returns the bitwise negation of *o* on success, or *NULL* on failure. This is

+
+ Returns the "bitwise and" of *o1* and *o2* on success and *NULL* on failure.
+ This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 & o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Xor(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the "bitwise exclusive or" of *o1* by *o2* on success, or *NULL* on
+ failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 ^ o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Or(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the "bitwise or" of *o1* and *o2* on success, or *NULL* on failure.

+
+

+
+ Returns the result of subtracting *o2* from *o1*, or *NULL* on failure. The

+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_InPlaceDivide(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the result of dividing *o1* by *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. The

+
+ Return a reasonable approximation for the mathematical value of *o1* divided by
+ *o2*, or *NULL* on failure. The return value is "approximate" because binary
+ floating point numbers are approximate; it is not possible to represent all real

+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_InPlacePower(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2, PyObject *o3)
+
+ .. index:: builtin: pow
+
+ See the built-in function :func:`pow`. Returns *NULL* on failure. The operation
+ is done *in-place* when *o1* supports it. This is the equivalent of the Python
+ statement ``o1 **= o2`` when o3 is :cdata:`Py_None`, or an in-place variant of
+ ``pow(o1, o2, o3)`` otherwise. If *o3* is to be ignored, pass :cdata:`Py_None`
+ in its place (passing *NULL* for *o3* would cause an illegal memory access).
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_InPlaceLshift(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the result of left shifting *o1* by *o2* on success, or *NULL* on
+ failure. The operation is done *in-place* when *o1* supports it. This is the

+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_InPlaceAnd(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the "bitwise and" of *o1* and *o2* on success and *NULL* on failure. The
+ operation is done *in-place* when *o1* supports it. This is the equivalent of

+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_InPlaceXor(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the "bitwise exclusive or" of *o1* by *o2* on success, or *NULL* on
+ failure. The operation is done *in-place* when *o1* supports it. This is the
+ equivalent of the Python statement ``o1 ^= o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_InPlaceOr(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
+
+ Returns the "bitwise or" of *o1* and *o2* on success, or *NULL* on failure. The
+ operation is done *in-place* when *o1* supports it. This is the equivalent of
+ the Python statement ``o1 |= o2``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyNumber_Coerce(PyObject **p1, PyObject **p2)
+
+ .. index:: builtin: coerce
+
+ This function takes the addresses of two variables of type :ctype:`PyObject\*`.
+ If the objects pointed to by ``*p1`` and ``*p2`` have the same type, increment
+ their reference count and return ``0`` (success). If the objects can be
+ converted to a common numeric type, replace ``*p1`` and ``*p2`` by their
+ converted value (with 'new' reference counts), and return ``0``. If no
+ conversion is possible, or if some other error occurs, return ``-1`` (failure)
+ and don't increment the reference counts. The call ``PyNumber_Coerce(&o1,
+ &o2)`` is equivalent to the Python statement ``o1, o2 = coerce(o1, o2)``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyNumber_CoerceEx(PyObject **p1, PyObject **p2)
+
+ This function is similar to :cfunc:`PyNumber_Coerce`, except that it returns
+ ``1`` when the conversion is not possible and when no error is raised.
+ Reference counts are still not increased in this case.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Int(PyObject *o)
+
+ .. index:: builtin: int
+
+ Returns the *o* converted to an integer object on success, or *NULL* on failure.
+ If the argument is outside the integer range a long object will be returned
+ instead. This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``int(o)``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Long(PyObject *o)
+
+ .. index:: builtin: long
+
+ Returns the *o* converted to a long integer object on success, or *NULL* on
+ failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``long(o)``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Float(PyObject *o)
+
+ .. index:: builtin: float
+
+ Returns the *o* converted to a float object on success, or *NULL* on failure.
+ This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``float(o)``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyNumber_Index(PyObject *o)
+
+ Returns the *o* converted to a Python int or long on success or *NULL* with a
+ TypeError exception raised on failure.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.5
+
+
+.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyNumber_AsSsize_t(PyObject *o, PyObject *exc)
+
+ Returns *o* converted to a Py_ssize_t value if *o* can be interpreted as an
+ integer. If *o* can be converted to a Python int or long but the attempt to
+ convert to a Py_ssize_t value would raise an :exc:`OverflowError`, then the
+ *exc* argument is the type of exception that will be raised (usually
+ :exc:`IndexError` or :exc:`OverflowError`). If *exc* is *NULL*, then the
+ exception is cleared and the value is clipped to *PY_SSIZE_T_MIN* for a negative
+ integer or *PY_SSIZE_T_MAX* for a positive integer.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.5
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyIndex_Check(PyObject *o)
+
+ Returns True if *o* is an index integer (has the nb_index slot of the
+ tp_as_number structure filled in).
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.5
