"Descriptors" are objects that describe some attribute of an object. They are found in the dictionary of type objects.
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyProperty_Type
The type object for the built-in descriptor types.
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewGetSet(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyGetSetDef *getset)
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewMember(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyMemberDef *meth)
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewMethod(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyMethodDef *meth)
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewWrapper(PyTypeObject *type, struct wrapperbase *wrapper, void *wrapped)
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewClassMethod(PyTypeObject *type, PyMethodDef *method)
.. c:function:: int PyDescr_IsData(PyObject *descr)
Return non-zero if the descriptor object *descr* describes a data attribute, or
``0`` if it describes a method. *descr* must be a descriptor object; there is
no error checking.
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyWrapper_New(PyObject *, PyObject *)
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyClassMethod_Type
The type of class method objects. This is the same object as
:class:`classmethod` in the Python layer.
.. c:function:: PyObject *PyClassMethod_New(PyObject *callable)
Create a new :class:`classmethod` object wrapping *callable*.
*callable* must be a callable object and must not be ``NULL``.
On success, this function returns a :term:`strong reference` to a new class
method descriptor. On failure, this function returns ``NULL`` with an
exception set.
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyStaticMethod_Type
The type of static method objects. This is the same object as
:class:`staticmethod` in the Python layer.
.. c:function:: PyObject *PyStaticMethod_New(PyObject *callable)
Create a new :class:`staticmethod` object wrapping *callable*.
*callable* must be a callable object and must not be ``NULL``.
On success, this function returns a :term:`strong reference` to a new static
method descriptor. On failure, this function returns ``NULL`` with an
exception set.
