-Mkvalue creates a new tuple with a reference count of 1 which you can
-return.  If any of the elements you put into the tuple are objects,
-they are INCREFfed by mkvalue.  If you don't want to keep references

+linked by the C compiler, global or static objects with constructors

+indirectly (i.e. via function pointers) by the Python interpreter will
+have to be declared using \code{extern "C"}; this applies to all
+`methods' as well as to the module's initialization function.

 Calling a Python function is easy.  First, the Python program must

 function (or some other interface) to do this.  When this function is

 A format string consists of a single `format unit'.  A format unit
 describes one Python object; it is usually a single character or a
 parenthesized string.  The type of a format units is determined from
 its first character, the `format letter':

-Returning an object to Python (i.e., when your module function

-a global object such as None, you should INCREF it.
-
-If you want to return a tuple, you should consider using mkvalue.
-Mkvalue creates a new tuple with a reference count of 1 which you can
-return.  If any of the elements you put into the tuple are objects,
-they are INCREFfed by mkvalue.  If you don't want to keep references
-to those elements around, you should DECREF them after having called

-Usually you don't have to worry about arguments.  They are INCREFfed

-If you use getargs() to parse the arguments, you can get a reference

+indirectly (i.e. via function pointers) by the Python interpreter will
+have to be declared using \code{extern "C"}; this applies to all
+`methods' as well as to the module's initialization function.
+It is unnecessary to enclose the Python header files in
+\code{extern "C" \{...\}} --- they do this already.

 difference is that when you extend Python, the main program of the

 So if you are embedding Python, you are providing your own main
 program.  One of the things this main program has to do is initialize
