3.28 new -- Runtime implementation object creation
The new module allows an interface to the interpreter object creation functions. This is for use primarily in marshal-type functions, when a new object needs to be created ``magically'' and not by using the regular creation functions. This module provides a low-level interface to the interpreter, so care must be exercised when using this module.
The new module defines the following functions:
- instance (class, dict)
- This function creates an instance of class with dictionary dict without calling the __init__() constructor. Note that there are no guarantees that the object will be in a consistent state.
- instancemethod (function, instance, class)
- This function will return a method object, bound to instance, or unbound if instance is
None. function must be callable, and instance must be an instance object orNone.
- function (code, globals[, name[argdefs]])
- Returns a (Python) function with the given code and globals. If name is given, it must be a string or
None. If it is a string, the function will have the given name, otherwise the function name will be taken fromcode.co_name. If argdefs is given, it must be a tuple and will be used to the determine the default values of parameters.
- code (argcount, nlocals, stacksize, flags, codestring, constants, names, varnames, filename, name, firstlineno, lnotab)
- This function is an interface to the PyCode_New() C function.
- module (name)
- This function returns a new module object with name name. name must be a string.
- classobj (name, baseclasses, dict)
- This function returns a new class object, with name name, derived from baseclasses (which should be a tuple of classes) and with namespace dict.
