    10 The functions in this chapter interact with Python objects regardless of their

    11 type, or with wide classes of object types (e.g. all numerical types, or all

    12 sequence types).  When used on object types for which they do not apply, they

    13 will raise a Python exception.

    14 

    15 It is not possible to use these functions on objects that are not properly

    16 initialized, such as a list object that has been created by :cfunc:`PyList_New`,

    17 but whose items have not been set to some non-\ ``NULL`` value yet.
