so, if em I right, if PyArg_ParseTuple() fails, _it_ raises
TypeError exception... (?)
I think it's clear, thanks :)

waov :)
and (maybe) final question: :)
I defined many exceptions:
static PyObject *cibcrypt_error_nokey;
static PyObject *cibcrypt_error_nofile;
static PyObject *cibcrypt_error_badpad;
...
void handle_err(int errcode) {
switch(errcode) {
case -1: PyErr_SetString(cibcrypt_error_nokey, "Can't find key.");
break;
...
}
...
cibcrypt_error_nokey = PyErr_NewException("cibcrypt.error_nokey", NULL,
NULL);
...
PyModule_AddObject(o, "error", cibcrypt_error_nokey);
I am right, here also no need any Py_INCREF()/Py_DECREF() action,
based on this doc:
http://docs.python.org/c-api/arg.html
"Another useful function is PyErr_SetFromErrno(), which only
takes an exception argument and constructs the associated value
by inspection of the global variable errno. The most general
function is PyErr_SetObject(), which takes two object arguments,
the exception and its associated value. You don’t need to
Py_INCREF() the objects passed to any of these function"
so, this part of code is right?
thanks again:
a.
