| 56 | 2. Defining New Types | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | </H1> | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | <P> | |
| 61 | As mentioned in the last chapter, Python allows the writer of an | |
| 62 | extension module to define new types that can be manipulated from | |
| 63 | Python code, much like strings and lists in core Python. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | <P> | |
| 66 | This is not hard; the code for all extension types follows a pattern, | |
| 67 | but there are some details that you need to understand before you can | |
| 68 | get started. | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | <P> | |
| 71 | <div class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> | |
| 72 | The way new types are defined changed dramatically (and for the | |
| 73 | better) in Python 2.2. This document documents how to define new | |
| 74 | types for Python 2.2 and later. If you need to support older | |
| 75 | versions of Python, you will need to refer to older versions of this | |
| 76 | documentation. | |
