56 | 1.8 Keyword Parameters for Extension Functions | |
57 | ||
58 | </H1> | |
59 | ||
60 | <P> | |
61 | <a id='l2h-4' xml:id='l2h-4'></a> | |
62 | ||
63 | <P> | |
64 | The <tt class="cfunction">PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords()</tt> function is declared as | |
65 | follows: | |
66 | ||
67 | <P> | |
68 | <div class="verbatim"><pre> | |
69 | int PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *arg, PyObject *kwdict, | |
70 | char *format, char *kwlist[], ...); | |
71 | </pre></div> | |
72 | ||
73 | <P> | |
74 | The <var>arg</var> and <var>format</var> parameters are identical to those of the | |
75 | <tt class="cfunction">PyArg_ParseTuple()</tt> function. The <var>kwdict</var> parameter | |
76 | is the dictionary of keywords received as the third parameter from the | |
77 | Python runtime. The <var>kwlist</var> parameter is a <tt class="constant">NULL</tt>-terminated | |
78 | list of strings which identify the parameters; the names are matched | |
79 | with the type information from <var>format</var> from left to right. On | |
80 | success, <tt class="cfunction">PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords()</tt> returns true, | |
81 | otherwise it returns false and raises an appropriate exception. | |
82 | ||
83 | <P> | |
84 | <span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> | |
85 | Nested tuples cannot be parsed when using keyword | |
86 | arguments! Keyword parameters passed in which are not present in the | |
87 | <var>kwlist</var> will cause <tt class="exception">TypeError</tt> to be raised.</span> | |

90 | Here is an example module which uses keywords, based on an example by | |
