/* --- C API ----------------------------------------------------*/

/* Short explanation of what this C API export mechanism does
   and how it works:

    The _ssl module needs access to the type object defined in 
    the _socket module. Since cross-DLL linking introduces a lot of
    problems on many platforms, the "trick" is to wrap the
    C API of a module in a struct which then gets exported to
    other modules via a PyCObject.

    The code in socketmodule.c defines this struct (which currently
    only contains the type object reference, but could very
    well also include other C APIs needed by other modules)
    and exports it as PyCObject via the module dictionary
    under the name "CAPI".

    Other modules can now include the socketmodule.h file
    which defines the needed C APIs to import and set up
    a static copy of this struct in the importing module.

    After initialization, the importing module can then
    access the C APIs from the _socket module by simply
    referring to the static struct, e.g.

    Load _socket module and its C API; this sets up the global
    PySocketModule:
    
	if (PySocketModule_ImportModuleAndAPI())
	    return;


    Now use the C API as if it were defined in the using
    module:

        if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O!|zz:ssl",

			      PySocketModule.Sock_Type,

			      (PyObject*)&Sock,
			      &key_file, &cert_file))
	    return NULL;

    Support could easily be extended to export more C APIs/symbols
    this way. Currently, only the type object is exported, 
    other candidates would be socket constructors and socket
    access functions.

	PyTypeObject *Sock_Type;

/* XXX The net effect of the following appears to be to define a function
   XXX named PySocketModule_APIObject in _ssl.c.  It's unclear why it isn't
   XXX defined there directly. 

   >>> It's defined here because other modules might also want to use
   >>> the C API.

   Call PySocketModule_ImportModuleAndAPI() to initialize this
   structure. After that usage is simple:
