Appendix B. Extending and Embedding Python
This appendix covers the C API used to build extension modules and embed the Python interpreter into other applications. It’s not intended to be a tutorial, so readers may want to consult the “Embedding and Extending the Python Interpreter” document available at http://www.python.org/doc/ext, as well as the “Python/C API Reference Manual” available at http://www.python.ord/doc/api. The functions described in this section are current as of Python 2.1 and are likely to be compatible with future releases of Python 2.x.
