PyTypeObject

Type objects contain a string containing the type name (to help somewhat in debugging), the allocation parameters (see PyObject_New() and PyObject_NewVar()), and methods for accessing objects of the type. Methods are optional, a nil pointer meaning that particular kind of access is not available for this type. The Py_DECREF() macro uses the tp_dealloc method without checking for a nil pointer; it should always be implemented except if the implementation can guarantee that the reference count will never reach zero (e.g., for statically allocated type objects).

NB: the methods for certain type groups are now contained in separate method blocks.
