-.. XXX deprecated, will be removed
.. c:function:: int PyArg_Parse(PyObject *args, const char *format, ...)
- Function used to deconstruct the argument lists of "old-style" functions ---
- these are functions which use the :const:`METH_OLDARGS` parameter parsing
- method, which has been removed in Python 3. This is not recommended for use
- in parameter parsing in new code, and most code in the standard interpreter
- has been modified to no longer use this for that purpose. It does remain a
- convenient way to decompose other tuples, however, and may continue to be
- used for that purpose.
+ Parse the parameter of a function that takes a single positional parameter
+ into a local variable. Returns true on success; on failure, it returns
+ false and raises the appropriate exception.
+
+ Example::
+
+ // Function using METH_O calling convention
+ static PyObject*
+ my_function(PyObject *module, PyObject *arg)
+ {
+ int value;
+ if (!PyArg_Parse(arg, "i:my_function", &value)) {
+ return NULL;
+ }
+ // ... use value ...
+ }
