+##################################################
+  Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter
+##################################################
+
+:Release: |version|
+:Date: |today|
+
+This document describes how to write modules in C or C++ to extend the Python
+interpreter with new modules.  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`.
