Those modules can define new functions but also +new object types and their methods. The document also describes how to embed +the Python interpreter in another application, for use as an extension language. +Finally, it shows how to compile and link extension modules so that they can be +loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter, if the underlying +operating system supports this feature. + +This document assumes basic knowledge about Python. For an informal +introduction to the language, see :ref:`tutorial-index`. :ref:`reference-index` +gives a more formal definition of the language. :ref:`library-index` documents +the existing object types, functions and modules (both built-in and written in +Python) that give the language its wide application range. + +For a detailed description of the whole Python/C API, see the separate +:ref:`c-api-index`. + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + extending.rst + newtypes.rst + building.rst + windows.rst + embedding.rst
