The creation of objects is a little different in Python than in C: instead of the `current form' maintained by the library to which new FORMS objects are added, all functions that add a FORMS object to a form are methods of the Python object representing the form.

Watch out for the somewhat confusing terminology: FORMS uses the word \dfn{object} for the buttons, sliders etc. that you can place in a form. In Python, `object' means any value. The Python interface to FORMS introduces two new Python object types: form objects (representing an entire form) and FORMS objects (representing one button, slider etc.). -Hopefully this isn't too confusing... +Hopefully this isn't too confusing.
