subtype PyCapsule is PyObject;
-- This subtype of PyObject represents an opaque value, useful for C
-- extension modules who need to pass an opaque value (as a void* pointer)
-- through Python code to other C code. It is often used to make a C
-- function pointer defined in one module available to other modules, so
-- the regular import mechanism can be used to access C APIs defined in
-- dynamically loaded modules.

-- Type for the capsule destructor callbacks
function PyCapsule_CheckExact (Object : PyObject) return Boolean;

-- Create a PyCapsule encapsulating the pointer. The pointer argument may
-- not be NULL.
--
-- On failure, raise PyCapsuleError
--
-- Note that an Interfaces.C.String.chars_ptr associated with the capsule
-- name is allocated by the function. The object can be freed when the
-- destructor is called. Use PyCapsule_GetName to retrieve it.
--
-- If the destructor argument is not NULL, it will be called with the
-- capsule as its argument when it is destroyed.
--
-- If this capsule will be stored as an attribute of a module, the name
-- should be specified as modulename.attributename. This will enable other
-- modules to import the capsule using PyCapsule_Import().
