Representation of new-style instance

[Raj B]

Consider a new-style class

class rabbit(object):
def __init__(self,c):
self.color = c

r1=rabbit("blue")
r2=rabbit("purple")

Which C struct in the Python implementation is used to represent the
instances c1 and c2 of the
new-style class? I understand that when the class 'rabbit' is
created, the type_new function
in typeobject.c creates a copy of a 'struct typeobject' with
dictionary tp_dict appropriately modified.

However, I can't figure out which structure is used for new-style
instances and where the instance dictionary is stored. Could anyone
please clarify?

Thanks
Raj

You don't try to send this raw over some stream connection, do you?
