PyList_New

[soso]

Hi everybody,

Does PyList_New() increments the reference count? I believe yes but I
want to be sure because I saw some code from a module that has a
function that increments it before returning the list.

Thanks in advance,
soso

Hi everybody,
Hello!

Yes.


I believe yes but I
want to be sure because I saw some code from a module that has a
function that increments it before returning the list.

Quoth the docs:
"""
PyObject* PyList_New( int len)

Return value: New reference.
Returns a new list of length len on success, or NULL on failure.
"""

Thanks in advance,

You're welcome after the fact.
