Python supports two pairs of attribute handlers; a type that supports attributes
only needs to implement the functions for one pair. The difference is that one
pair takes the name of the attribute as a :c:expr:`char\*`, while the other
-accepts a :c:type:`PyObject\*`. Each type can use whichever pair makes more
+accepts a :c:expr:`PyObject*`. Each type can use whichever pair makes more
sense for the implementation's convenience. ::
getattrfunc tp_getattr; /* char * version */
If accessing attributes of an object is always a simple operation (this will be
explained shortly), there are generic implementations which can be used to

The actual need for type-specific attribute handlers almost completely
disappeared starting with Python 2.2, though there are many examples which have
not been updated to use some of the new generic mechanism that is available.
For simplicity, only the :c:expr:`char\*` version will be demonstrated here; the
type of the name parameter is the only difference between the :c:expr:`char\*`
-and :c:type:`PyObject\*` flavors of the interface. This example effectively does

the same thing as the generic example above, but does not use the generic
support added in Python 2.2. It explains how the handler functions are
called, so that if you do need to extend their functionality, you'll understand

The :term:`CPython` runtime sees all Python objects as variables of type

The :c:type:`PyObject` structure itself only contains the object's
:term:`reference count` and a pointer to the object's "type object".
This is where the action is; the type object determines which (C) functions

* A different argument parsing function, :c:func:`PyArg_UnpackTuple`, has been
added that's simpler and presumably faster. Instead of specifying a format
