Descriptors are objects that describe some attribute of an object. They are found in the dictionary of type objects.

PyTypeObject PyProperty_Type

The type object for the built-in descriptor types.

PyObject* PyDescr_NewGetSet(PyTypeObject*type, struct PyGetSetDef*getset)

Return value: New reference.

PyObject* PyDescr_NewMember(PyTypeObject*type, struct PyMemberDef*meth)

Return value: New reference.

PyObject* PyDescr_NewMethod(PyTypeObject*type, struct PyMethodDef*meth)

Return value: New reference.

PyObject* PyDescr_NewWrapper(PyTypeObject*type, struct wrapperbase*wrapper, void*wrapped)

Return value: New reference.

PyObject* PyDescr_NewClassMethod(PyTypeObject*type, PyMethodDef*method)

Return value: New reference.

int PyDescr_IsData(PyObject*descr)

Return true if the descriptor objects descr describes a data attribute, or false if it describes a method. descr must be a descriptor object; there is no error checking.
