-:mod:`new` --- Creation of runtime internal objects
-===================================================
-
-.. module:: new
- :synopsis: Interface to the creation of runtime implementation objects.
-.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>
-
-
-The :mod:`new` module allows an interface to the interpreter object creation
-functions. This is for use primarily in marshal-type functions, when a new
-object needs to be created "magically" and not by using the regular creation
-functions. This module provides a low-level interface to the interpreter, so
-care must be exercised when using this module. It is possible to supply
-non-sensical arguments which crash the interpreter when the object is used.
-
-The :mod:`new` module defines the following functions:
-
-
-.. function:: instancemethod(function, instance)
-
- This function will return a method object, bound to *instance*.
- *function* must be callable.
-
- .. XXX no unbound methods anymore
-
-
-.. function:: function(code, globals[, name[, argdefs[, closure]]])
-
- Returns a (Python) function with the given code and globals. If *name* is given,
- it must be a string or ``None``. If it is a string, the function will have the
- given name, otherwise the function name will be taken from ``code.co_name``. If
- *argdefs* is given, it must be a tuple and will be used to determine the default
- values of parameters. If *closure* is given, it must be ``None`` or a tuple of
- cell objects containing objects to bind to the names in ``code.co_freevars``.
-
-
-.. function:: code(argcount, nlocals, stacksize, flags, codestring, constants, names, varnames, filename, name, firstlineno, lnotab)
-
- This function is an interface to the :cfunc:`PyCode_New` C function.
-
- .. XXX This is still undocumented!!!
-
-
-.. function:: module(name[, doc])
-
- This function returns a new module object with name *name*. *name* must be a
- string. The optional *doc* argument can have any type.
-
-
-.. function:: classobj(name, baseclasses, dict)
-
- This function returns a new class object, with name *name*, derived from
- *baseclasses* (which should be a tuple of classes) and with namespace *dict*.
- Alias for the built-in :class:`type`.
