I have a c extension which is intended to implement a module the looks
structurally like this
############
a = 1
b = 2
class T:
def __init__(self):
self.a = a
self.b = b
############
so when an object of type T is instantiated it can set up defaults based on the
current module values of a and b.
In the past using old style single phase module creation the init function for the type could look up the module by
using the PyState_FindModule function. In the new world where we can implement c extensions which might work with
multiple interpreters (multi-phase creation). The docs say PyState_FindModule won't work for those and indeed it returns
NULL so is useless.
Is there a way I can set the current module onto the type definition during the module's exec function? I thought it
would be easy to add at the point in the exec where I'm doing this to the module, m,
TType.tp_base = &PyBaseObject_Type;
if(PyType_Ready(&TType)<0) goto fail;
if(PyModule_AddObject(m,"T", (PyObject *)&TType)<0) goto fail;
but I don't see the place in the type where I can add these sorts of dynamic attributes. The basic_size is for the
created objects.
The created type does have a __dict__ which is a mappingproxy. I wondered when
that actually gets instantiated.
I can see that the type has a __module__ attribute after the module is imported and I suppose if I can find the
'current' interpreter I might use the __module__ to locate the module object via PyImport_GetModuleDict.
Any expertise or advice gratefully received.
