I think that none of these API calls can fail, but only few of them are documented as such. Add the sentence "This function always succeeds" (which is the same already used e.g. by PyNumber_Check) to all of them.

Boolean Objects
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Booleans in Python are implemented as a subclass of integers. There are only
|
|
two booleans, :const:`Py_False` and :const:`Py_True`. As such, the normal
|
|
creation and deletion functions don't apply to booleans. The following macros
|
|
are available, however.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyBool_Check(PyObject *o)
|
|
|
|
Return true if *o* is of type :c:data:`PyBool_Type`. This function always
|
|
succeeds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: PyObject* Py_False
|
|
|
|
The Python ``False`` object. This object has no methods. It needs to be
|
|
treated just like any other object with respect to reference counts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: PyObject* Py_True
|
|
|
|
The Python ``True`` object. This object has no methods. It needs to be treated
|
|
just like any other object with respect to reference counts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:macro:: Py_RETURN_FALSE
|
|
|
|
Return :const:`Py_False` from a function, properly incrementing its reference
|
|
count.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:macro:: Py_RETURN_TRUE
|
|
|
|
Return :const:`Py_True` from a function, properly incrementing its reference
|
|
count.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyBool_FromLong(long v)
|
|
|
|
Return a new reference to :const:`Py_True` or :const:`Py_False` depending on the
|
|
truth value of *v*.
