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.

This document assumes basic knowledge about Python. For an informal
