When printing NameError raised by the interpreter, PyErr_Display
will offer suggestions of simmilar variable names in the function that the exception
was raised from:
>>> schwarzschild_black_hole = None
>>> schwarschild_black_hole
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'schwarschild_black_hole' is not defined. Did you mean: schwarzschild_black_hole?
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into three sections: 1. ``Include/`` 2. ``Include/cpython/`` 3. ``Include/internal/`` Include: Limited API ==================== ``Include/``, excluding the ``cpython`` and ``internal`` subdirectories, contains the public Limited API (Application Programming Interface). The Limited API is a subset of the C API, designed to guarantee ABI stability across Python 3 versions, and is defined in :pep:`384`. Guidelines for expanding the Limited API: - Functions *must not* steal references - Functions *must not* return borrowed references - Functions returning references *must* return a strong reference - Macros should not expose implementation details - Please start a public discussion before expanding the API - Functions or macros with a ``_Py`` prefix do not belong in ``Include/``. It is possible to add a function or macro to the Limited API from a given Python version. For example, to add a function to the Limited API from Python 3.10 and onwards, wrap it with ``#if !defined(Py_LIMITED_API) || Py_LIMITED_API+0 >= 0x030A0000``. Include/cpython: CPython implementation details =============================================== ``Include/cpython/`` contains the public API that is excluded from the Limited API and the Stable ABI. Guidelines for expanding the public API: - Functions *must not* steal references - Functions *must not* return borrowed references - Functions returning references *must* return a strong reference Include/internal: The internal API ================================== With PyAPI_FUNC or PyAPI_DATA ----------------------------- Functions or structures in ``Include/internal/`` defined with ``PyAPI_FUNC`` or ``PyAPI_DATA`` are internal functions which are exposed only for specific use cases like debuggers and profilers. With the extern keyword ----------------------- Functions in ``Include/internal/`` defined with the ``extern`` keyword *must not and can not* be used outside the CPython code base. Only built-in stdlib extensions (built with the ``Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN`` macro defined) can use such functions. When in doubt, new internal C functions should be defined in ``Include/internal`` using the ``extern`` keyword.
