The Python/C API, 发布 3.9.2

bugs in exception handling code caused by an innocent-looking function overwriting the exception being handled; it

also reduces the often unwanted lifetime extension for objects that are referenced by the stack frames in the traceback.

As a general principle, a function that calls another function to perform some task should check whether the called

function raised an exception, and if so, pass the exception state on to its caller. It should discard any object references

that it owns, and return an error indicator, but it should not set another exception --- that would overwrite the exception

that was just raised, and lose important information about the exact cause of the error.

A simple example of detecting exceptions and passing them on is shown in the sum_sequence() example above.

It so happens that this example doesn’t need to clean up any owned references when it detects an error. The following

example function shows some error cleanup. First, to remind you why you like Python, we show the equivalent Python

code:

def incr_item(dict, key):

try:

item = dict[key]

except KeyError:

item = 0

dict[key] = item + 1

Here is the corresponding C code, in all its glory:

int

incr_item(PyObject *dict, PyObject *key)

{

/* Objects all initialized to NULL for Py_XDECREF */

PyObject *item = NULL, *const_one = NULL, *incremented_item = NULL;

int rv = -1; /* Return value initialized to -1 (failure) */

item = PyObject_GetItem(dict, key);

if (item == NULL) {

/* Handle KeyError only: */

if (!PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_KeyError))

goto error;

/* Clear the error and use zero: */

PyErr_Clear();

item = PyLong_FromLong(0L);

if (item == NULL)

goto error;

}

const_one = PyLong_FromLong(1L);

if (const_one == NULL)

goto error;

incremented_item = PyNumber_Add(item, const_one);

if (incremented_item == NULL)

goto error;

if (PyObject_SetItem(dict, key, incremented_item) < 0)

goto error;

rv = 0; /* Success */

/* Continue with cleanup code */

error:

/* Cleanup code, shared by success and failure path */

/* Use Py_XDECREF() to ignore NULL references */

Py_XDECREF(item);

Py_XDECREF(const_one);

Py_XDECREF(incremented_item);

return rv; /* -1 for error, 0 for success */

}

This example represents an endorsed use of the goto statement in C! It illustrates the use of

PyErr_ExceptionMatches() and PyErr_Clear() to handle speciﬁc exceptions, and the use of

Py_XDECREF() to dispose of owned references that may be NULL (note the 'X' in the name; Py_DECREF()

would crash when confronted with a NULL reference). It is important that the variables used to hold owned

references are initialized to NULL for this to work; likewise, the proposed return value is initialized to -1 (failure)

and only set to success after the ﬁnal call made is successful.

1.6 嵌入 Python

The one important task that only embedders (as opposed to extension writers) of the Python interpreter have to worry

about is the initialization, and possibly the ﬁnalization, of the Python interpreter. Most functionality of the interpreter

can only be used after the interpreter has been initialized.

The basic initialization function is Py_Initialize(). This initializes the table of loaded modules, and creates the

fundamental modules builtins, __main__, and sys. It also initializes the module search path (sys.path).

Py_Initialize() does not set the ”script argument list” (sys.argv). If this variable is needed by Python

code that will be executed later, it must be set explicitly with a call to PySys_SetArgvEx(argc, argv,

updatepath) after the call to Py_Initialize().

On most systems (in particular, on Unix and Windows, although the details are slightly diﬀerent),

Py_Initialize() calculates the module search path based upon its best guess for the location of the standard

Python interpreter executable, assuming that the Python library is found in a ﬁxed location relative to the Python in-

terpreter executable. In particular, it looks for a directory named lib/pythonX.Y relative to the parent directory

where the executable named python is found on the shell command search path (the environment variable PATH).

For instance, if the Python executable is found in /usr/local/bin/python, it will assume that the libraries

are in /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y. (In fact, this particular path is also the ”fallback” location, used when no

executable ﬁle named python is found along PATH.) The user can override this behavior by setting the environment

variable PYTHONHOME, or insert additional directories in front of the standard path by setting PYTHONPATH.

The embedding application can steer the search by calling Py_SetProgramName(file) before calling

Py_Initialize(). Note that PYTHONHOME still overrides this and PYTHONPATH is still inserted in front

of the standard path. An application that requires total control has to provide its own implementation of

Py_GetPath(), Py_GetPrefix(), Py_GetExecPrefix(), and Py_GetProgramFullPath() (all

deﬁned in Modules/getpath.c).

Sometimes, it is desirable to ”uninitialize” Python. For instance, the application may want to start over (make

another call to Py_Initialize()) or the application is simply done with its use of Python and wants to

free memory allocated by Python. This can be accomplished by calling Py_FinalizeEx(). The function

Py_IsInitialized() returns true if Python is currently in the initialized state. More information about these

functions is given in a later chapter. Notice that Py_FinalizeEx() does not free all memory allocated by the

Python interpreter, e.g. memory allocated by extension modules currently cannot be released.

1.7 调试构建

Python can be built with several macros to enable extra checks of the interpreter and extension modules. These

checks tend to add a large amount of overhead to the runtime so they are not enabled by default.

A full list of the various types of debugging builds is in the ﬁle Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt in the Python source

distribution. Builds are available that support tracing of reference counts, debugging the memory allocator, or low-

level proﬁling of the main interpreter loop. Only the most frequently-used builds will be described in the remainder

of this section.
