What do you mean? Create instances of a type defined in Python code? The C API is not very different from Python-land. When you want to instantiate a type, just call that type (as a PyObject pointer) with the right arguments (using PyObject_Call() and friends). Whether that type has been defined in C or in Python does not make a difference. > Question 2: How do I make C helper functions that are part of my > extension available to other C projects in the same way that PyList_*, > PyString_*, PyInt_* functions are available? > Is it possible to have distutils make a .lib file for me? I don't know. I'd say "probably" :S Otherwise you can use the PyCapsule system, but that seems quite a bit more involved: http://docs.python.org/c-api/capsule.html Regards Antoine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
