href="#cobject-replaced-with-capsule" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>The <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Capsule</span></code> object was introduced in Python 3.1 and 2.7 to replace <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CObject</span></code>. CObjects were useful, but the <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CObject</span></code> API was problematic: it didn’t permit distinguishing between valid CObjects, which allowed mismatched CObjects to crash the interpreter, and some of its APIs relied on undefined behavior in C. (For further reading on the rationale behind Capsules, please see <a class="reference external" href="https://bugs.python.org/issue5630">bpo-5630</a>.)</p> <p>If you’re currently using CObjects, and you want to migrate to 3.1 or newer, you’ll need to switch to Capsules. <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CObject</span></code> was deprecated in 3.1 and 2.7 and completely removed in Python 3.2. If you only support 2.7, or 3.1 and above, you can simply switch to <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Capsule</span></code>. If you need to support Python 3.0, or versions of Python earlier than 2.7, you’ll have to support both CObjects and Capsules. (Note that Python 3.0 is no longer supported, and it is not recommended for production use.)</p> <p>The following example header file <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">capsulethunk.h</span></code> may solve the problem for you. Simply write your code against the <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Capsule</span></code> API and include this header file after <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Python.h</span></code>. Your code will automatically use Capsules in versions of Python with Capsules, and switch to CObjects when Capsules are unavailable.</p> <p><code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">capsulethunk.h</span></code> simulates Capsules using CObjects. However, <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CObject</span></code> provides no place to store the capsule’s “name”. As a result the simulated <code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Capsule</span></code> objects created by <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">capsulethunk.h</span></code> behave slightly differently from real Capsules.
