+   PROPOSAL: A Generic Python Object Interface for Python C Modules
+
+Problem
+
+  Python modules written in C that must access Python objects must do
+  so through routines whose interfaces are described by a set of
+  include files.  Unfortunately, these routines vary according to the
+  object accessed.  To use these routines, the C programmer must check
+  the type of the object being used and must call a routine based on
+  the object type.  For example, to access an element of a sequence,
+  the programmer must determine whether the sequence is a list or a
+  tuple:
+
+    if(is_tupleobject(o))
+      e=gettupleitem(o,i)
+    else if(is_listitem(o))
+      e=getlistitem(o,i)
+
+  If the programmer wants to get an item from another type of object
+  that provides sequence behavior, there is no clear way to do it
+  correctly.
+
+  The persistent programmer may peruse object.h and find that the
+  _typeobject structure provides a means of invoking up to (currently
+  about) 41 special operators.  So, for example, a routine can get an
+  item from any object that provides sequence behavior. However, to
+  use this mechanism, the programmer must make their code dependent on
+  the current Python implementation.
+
+  Also, certain semantics, especially memory management semantics, may
+  differ by the type of object being used.  Unfortunately, these
+  semantics are not clearly described in the current include files.
+  An abstract interface providing more consistent semantics is needed.
+
+Proposal
+
+  I propose the creation of a standard interface (with an associated
+  library of routines and/or macros) for generically obtaining the
+  services of Python objects.  This proposal can be viewed as one
+  components of a Python C interface consisting of several components.
+
+  From the viewpoint of C access to Python services, we have (as
+  suggested by Guido in off-line discussions):
+
+  - "Very high level layer": two or three functions that let you exec or
+    eval arbitrary Python code given as a string in a module whose name is
+    given, passing C values in and getting C values out using
+    mkvalue/getargs style format strings.  This does not require the user
+    to declare any variables of type "PyObject *".  This should be enough
+    to write a simple application that gets Python code from the user,
+    execs it, and returns the output or errors.  (Error handling must also
+    be part of this API.)
+
+  - "Abstract objects layer": which is the subject of this proposal.
+    It has many functions operating on objects, and lest you do many
+    things from C that you can also write in Python, without going
+    through the Python parser.
+
+  - "Concrete objects layer": This is the public type-dependent
+    interface provided by the standard built-in types, such as floats,
+    strings, and lists.  This interface exists and is currently
+    documented by the collection of include files provided with the
+    Python distributions.
+
+  From the point of view of Python accessing services provided by C
+  modules:
+
+  - "Python module interface": this interface consist of the basic
+    routines used to define modules and their members.  Most of the
+    current extensions-writing guide deals with this interface.
+
+  - "Built-in object interface": this is the interface that a new
+    built-in type must provide and the mechanisms and rules that a
+    developer of a new built-in type must use and follow.
+
+  This proposal is a "first-cut" that is intended to spur
+  discussion. See especially the lists of notes.
+
+  The Python C object interface will provide four protocols: object,
+  numeric, sequence, and mapping.  Each protocol consists of a
+  collection of related operations.  If an operation that is not
+  provided by a particular type is invoked, then a standard exception,
+  NotImplementedError is raised with a operation name as an argument.
+  In addition, for convenience this interface defines a set of
+  constructors for building objects of built-in types.  This is needed
+  so new objects can be returned from C functions that otherwise treat
+  objects generically.
+
+Memory Management
+
+  For all of the functions described in this proposal, if a function
+  retains a reference to a Python object passed as an argument, then the
+  function will increase the reference count of the object.  It is
+  unnecessary for the caller to increase the reference count of an
+  argument in anticipation of the object's retention.
+
+  All Python objects returned from functions should be treated as new
+  objects.  Functions that return objects assume that the caller will
+  retain a reference and the reference count of the object has already
+  been incremented to account for this fact.  A caller that does not
+  retain a reference to an object that is returned from a function
+  must decrement the reference count of the object (using
+  DECREF(object)) to prevent memory leaks.
+
+  Note that the behavior mentioned here is different from the current
+  behavior for some objects (e.g. lists and tuples) when certain
+  type-specific routines are called directly (e.g. setlistitem).  The
+  proposed abstraction layer will provide a consistent memory
+  management interface, correcting for inconsistent behavior for some
+  built-in types.
