When I looked for info on this, I didn't find any good documentation, either. I'm currently using code like the following in pysqlite (http://initd.org/tracker/pysqlite/browser/pysqlite/trunk/src/connection.c?rev=154): 126 if (factory == NULL) { 127 factory = (PyObject*)&CursorType; 128 } 129 130 cursor = PyObject_CallFunction(factory, "O", self); So, basically I'm just calling the type like any other callable object. I don't remember if there was a reason why I didn't use PyObject_CallObject instead, at the time ... In any case, this approach worked fine for me. -- Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
