The __pypy__
module¶
The __pypy__
module is the main entry point to special features provided
by PyPy’s standard interpreter. Its content depends on configuration options
which may add new functionality and functions whose existence or non-existence
indicates the presence of such features.
Generally available functionality¶
internal_repr(obj)
: return the interpreter-level representation of an object.bytebuffer(length)
: return a new read-write buffer of the given length. It works like a simplified array of characters (actually, depending on the configuration thearray
module internally uses this).attach_gdb()
: start a GDB at the interpreter-level (or a PDB before translation).
Transparent Proxy Functionality¶
If transparent proxies are enabled (with –objspace-std-withtproxy)
the following functions are put into __pypy__
:
tproxy(typ, controller)
: Return something that looks like it is of type typ. Its behaviour is completely controlled by the controller. See the docs about transparent proxies for detail.get_tproxy_controller(obj)
: If obj is really a transparent proxy, return its controller. Otherwise return None.
Functionality available on py.py (not after translation)¶
isfake(obj)
: returns True ifobj
is faked.
