9The functions in this chapter interact with Python objects regardless of their
10type, or with wide classes of object types (e.g. all numerical types, or all
11sequence types).  When used on object types for which they do not apply, they
12will raise a Python exception.
13
14It is not possible to use these functions on objects that are not properly
15initialized, such as a list object that has been created by :c:func:`PyList_New`,
16but whose items have not been set to some non-\ ``NULL`` value yet.
