PyOS_FSPath
Return the file system representation for path. If the object is a str
or bytes
object, then its reference count is incremented. If the object implements the os.PathLike
interface, then __fspath__()
is returned as long as it is a str
or bytes
object. Otherwise TypeError
is raised and NULL
is returned.
New in version 3.6.
Py_FdIsInteractive
Return true (nonzero) if the standard I/O file fp with name filename is deemed interactive. This is the case for files for which isatty(fileno(fp))
is true. If the global flag Py_InteractiveFlag
is true, this function also returns true if the filename pointer is NULL
or if the name is equal to one of the strings '<stdin>'
or '???'
.
PyOS_BeforeFork
Function to prepare some internal state before a process fork. This should be called before calling fork()
or any similar function that clones the current process. Only available on systems where fork()
is defined.
Warning
The C fork()
call should only be made from the ?main? thread (of the ?main? interpreter). The same is true for PyOS_BeforeFork()
.
New in version 3.7.
PyOS_AfterFork_Parent
Function to update some internal state after a process fork. This should be called from the parent process after calling fork()
or any similar function that clones the current process, regardless of whether process cloning was successful. Only available on systems where fork()
is defined.
Warning
The C fork()
call should only be made from the ?main? thread (of the ?main? interpreter). The same is true for PyOS_AfterFork_Parent()
.
New in version 3.7.
PyOS_AfterFork_Child
Function to update internal interpreter state after a process fork. This must be called from the child process after calling fork()
, or any similar function that clones the current process, if there is any chance the process will call back into the Python interpreter. Only available on systems where fork()
is defined.
Warning
The C fork()
call should only be made from the ?main? thread (of the ?main? interpreter). The same is true for PyOS_AfterFork_Child()
.
New in version 3.7.

os.register_at_fork()
allows registering custom Python functions to be called by PyOS_BeforeFork()
, PyOS_AfterFork_Parent()
and PyOS_AfterFork_Child()
.
PyOS_AfterFork
Function to update some internal state after a process fork; this should be called in the new process if the Python interpreter will continue to be used. If a new executable is loaded into the new process, this function does not need to be called.
PyOS_CheckStack
Return true when the interpreter runs out of stack space. This is a reliable check, but is only available when USE_STACKCHECK
is defined (currently on Windows using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler). USE_STACKCHECK
will be defined automatically; you should never change the definition in your own code.
PyOS_getsig
Return the current signal handler for signal i. This is a thin wrapper around either sigaction()
or signal()
. Do not call those functions directly! PyOS_sighandler_t
is a typedef alias for void (*)(int)
.
PyOS_setsig
Set the signal handler for signal i to be h; return the old signal handler. This is a thin wrapper around either sigaction()
or signal()
. Do not call those functions directly! PyOS_sighandler_t
is a typedef alias for void (*)(int)
.
Py_DecodeLocale
Decode a byte string from the locale encoding with the surrogateescape error handler: undecodable bytes are decoded as characters in range U+DC80..U+DCFF. If a byte sequence can be decoded as a surrogate character, escape the bytes using the surrogateescape error handler instead of decoding them.
Encoding, highest priority to lowest priority:
UTF-8
on macOS, Android, and VxWorks;
UTF-8
on Windows if Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag
is zero;
UTF-8
if the Python UTF-8 mode is enabled;
ASCII
if the LC_CTYPE
locale is "C"
, nl_langinfo(CODESET)
returns the ASCII
encoding (or an alias), and mbstowcs()
and wcstombs()
functions uses the ISO-8859-1
encoding.
the current locale encoding.
Return a pointer to a newly allocated wide character string, use PyMem_RawFree()
to free the memory. If size is not NULL
, write the number of wide characters excluding the null character into *size
Return NULL
on decoding error or memory allocation error. If size is not NULL
, *size
is set to (size_t)-1
on memory error or set to (size_t)-2
on decoding error.
Decoding errors should never happen, unless there is a bug in the C library.
Use the Py_EncodeLocale()
function to encode the character string back to a byte string.
New in version 3.5.
Changed in version 3.7: The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding in the UTF-8 mode.
Changed in version 3.8: The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows if Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag
is zero;
Py_EncodeLocale
Encode a wide character string to the locale encoding with the surrogateescape error handler: surrogate characters in the range U+DC80..U+DCFF are converted to bytes 0x80..0xFF.
Encoding, highest priority to lowest priority:
UTF-8
on macOS, Android, and VxWorks;
UTF-8
on Windows if Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag
is zero;
UTF-8
if the Python UTF-8 mode is enabled;
ASCII
if the LC_CTYPE
locale is "C"
, nl_langinfo(CODESET)
returns the ASCII
encoding (or an alias), and mbstowcs()
and wcstombs()
functions uses the ISO-8859-1
encoding.
the current locale encoding.
The function uses the UTF-8 encoding in the Python UTF-8 mode.
Return a pointer to a newly allocated byte string, use PyMem_Free()
to free the memory. Return NULL
on encoding error or memory allocation error
If error_pos is not NULL
, *error_pos
is set to (size_t)-1
on success, or set to the index of the invalid character on encoding error.
Use the Py_DecodeLocale()
function to decode the bytes string back to a wide character string.
New in version 3.5.
Changed in version 3.7: The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding in the UTF-8 mode.
Changed in version 3.8: The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows if Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag
is zero;
These are utility functions that make functionality from the sys
module accessible to C code. They all work with the current interpreter thread's sys
module's dict, which is contained in the internal thread state structure.
PySys_GetObject
Return the object name from the sys
module or NULL
if it does not exist, without setting an exception.
PySys_SetObject
Set name in the sys
module to v unless v is NULL
, in which case name is deleted from the sys module. Returns 0
on success, -1
on error.
PySys_ResetWarnOptions
Reset sys.warnoptions
to an empty list. This function may be called prior to Py_Initialize()
.
PySys_AddWarnOption
Append s to sys.warnoptions
. This function must be called prior to Py_Initialize()
in order to affect the warnings filter list.
PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode
Append unicode to sys.warnoptions
.
Note: this function is not currently usable from outside the CPython implementation, as it must be called prior to the implicit import of warnings
in Py_Initialize()
to be effective, but can?t be called until enough of the runtime has been initialized to permit the creation of Unicode objects.
PySys_SetPath
Set sys.path
to a list object of paths found in path which should be a list of paths separated with the platform's search path delimiter (:
on Unix, ;
on Windows).
PySys_WriteStdout
Write the output string described by format to sys.stdout
. No exceptions are raised, even if truncation occurs (see below).
format should limit the total size of the formatted output string to 1000 bytes or less ? after 1000 bytes, the output string is truncated. In particular, this means that no unrestricted ?%s? formats should occur; these should be limited using ?%.<N>s? where <N> is a decimal number calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other formatted text does not exceed 1000 bytes. Also watch out for ?%f?, which can print hundreds of digits for very large numbers.
If a problem occurs, or sys.stdout
is unset, the formatted message is written to the real (C level) stdout.
PySys_WriteStderr
As PySys_WriteStdout()
, but write to sys.stderr
or stderr instead.
PySys_FormatStdout
Function similar to PySys_WriteStdout() but format the message using PyUnicode_FromFormatV()
and don?t truncate the message to an arbitrary length.
New in version 3.2.
PySys_FormatStderr
As PySys_FormatStdout()
, but write to sys.stderr
or stderr instead.
New in version 3.2.
PySys_AddXOption
Parse s as a set of -X
options and add them to the current options mapping as returned by PySys_GetXOptions()
. This function may be called prior to Py_Initialize()
.
New in version 3.2.
PySys_GetXOptions
Return the current dictionary of -X
options, similarly to sys._xoptions
. On error, NULL
is returned and an exception is set.
New in version 3.2.
PySys_Audit
Raise an auditing event with any active hooks. Return zero for success and non-zero with an exception set on failure.
If any hooks have been added, format and other arguments will be used to construct a tuple to pass. Apart from N
, the same format characters as used in Py_BuildValue()
are available. If the built value is not a tuple, it will be added into a single-element tuple. (The N
format option consumes a reference, but since there is no way to know whether arguments to this function will be consumed, using it may cause reference leaks.)
Note that #
format characters should always be treated as Py_ssize_t
, regardless of whether PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
was defined.
sys.audit()
performs the same function from Python code.
New in version 3.8.
Changed in version 3.8.2: Require Py_ssize_t
for #
format characters. Previously, an unavoidable deprecation warning was raised.
PySys_AddAuditHook
Append the callable hook to the list of active auditing hooks. Return zero for success and non-zero on failure. If the runtime has been initialized, also set an error on failure. Hooks added through this API are called for all interpreters created by the runtime.
The userData pointer is passed into the hook function. Since hook functions may be called from different runtimes, this pointer should not refer directly to Python state.
This function is safe to call before Py_Initialize()
. When called after runtime initialization, existing audit hooks are notified and may silently abort the operation by raising an error subclassed from Exception
(other errors will not be silenced).
The hook function is of type int (*)(const char *event, PyObject *args, void *userData)
, where args is guaranteed to be a PyTupleObject
. The hook function is always called with the GIL held by the Python interpreter that raised the event.
See PEP 578 for a detailed description of auditing. Functions in the runtime and standard library that raise events are listed in the audit events table. Details are in each function's documentation.
If the interpreter is initialized, this function raises a auditing event sys.addaudithook
with no arguments. If any existing hooks raise an exception derived from Exception
, the new hook will not be added and the exception is cleared. As a result, callers cannot assume that their hook has been added unless they control all existing hooks.
New in version 3.8.
Py_FatalError
Print a fatal error message and kill the process. No cleanup is performed. This function should only be invoked when a condition is detected that would make it dangerous to continue using the Python interpreter; e.g., when the object administration appears to be corrupted. On Unix, the standard C library function abort()
is called which will attempt to produce a core
file.
Py_Exit
Exit the current process. This calls Py_FinalizeEx()
and then calls the standard C library function exit(status)
. If Py_FinalizeEx()
indicates an error, the exit status is set to 120.
Changed in version 3.6: Errors from finalization no longer ignored.
Py_AtExit
Register a cleanup function to be called by Py_FinalizeEx()
. The cleanup function will be called with no arguments and should return no value. At most 32 cleanup functions can be registered. When the registration is successful, Py_AtExit()
returns 0
; on failure, it returns -1
. The cleanup function registered last is called first. Each cleanup function will be called at most once. Since Python's internal finalization will have completed before the cleanup function, no Python APIs should be called by func.
