Various functions are available for calling a Python object.
Each converts its arguments to a convention supported by the called object –
either *tp_call* or vectorcall.

The following table summarizes the available functions;

Python into an application. It isolates Python from the system. For example,
environments variables are ignored, the LC_CTYPE locale is left unchanged and

The :c:func:`Py_RunMain` function can be used to write a customized Python
program.

+ At Python startup, the encoding name is normalized to the Python codec
name. For example, ``"ANSI_X3.4-1968"`` is replaced with ``"ascii"``.
See also the :c:member:`~PyConfig.filesystem_errors` member.
For technical reasons, a generator used directly as a context manager
would not work correctly. When, as is most common, a generator is used as
an iterator run to completion, no closing is needed. When it is, wrap
-it as "contextlib.closing(generator)" in the 'with' statment.
