 | 
						||
<dd><p>Type of a function watcher callback function.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>If <em>event</em> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyFunction_EVENT_CREATE</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyFunction_EVENT_DESTROY</span></code>
 | 
						||
then <em>new_value</em> will be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NULL</span></code>. Otherwise, <em>new_value</em> will hold a
 | 
						||
<a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-borrowed-reference"><span class="xref std std-term">borrowed reference</span></a> to the new value that is about to be stored in
 | 
						||
<em>func</em> for the attribute that is being modified.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>The callback may inspect but must not modify <em>func</em>; doing so could have
 | 
						||
unpredictable effects, including infinite recursion.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>If <em>event</em> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyFunction_EVENT_CREATE</span></code>, then the callback is invoked
 | 
						||
after <cite>func</cite> has been fully initialized. Otherwise, the callback is invoked
 | 
						||
before the modification to <em>func</em> takes place, so the prior state of <em>func</em>
 | 
						||
can be inspected. The runtime is permitted to optimize away the creation of
 | 
						||
function objects when possible. In such cases no event will be emitted.
 | 
						||
Although this creates the possibility of an observable difference of
 | 
						||
runtime behavior depending on optimization decisions, it does not change
 | 
						||
the semantics of the Python code being executed.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>If <em>event</em> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyFunction_EVENT_DESTROY</span></code>,  Taking a reference in the
 | 
						||
callback to the about-to-be-destroyed function will resurrect it, preventing
 | 
						||
it from being freed at this time. When the resurrected object is destroyed
 | 
						||
later, any watcher callbacks active at that time will be called again.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>If the callback sets an exception, it must return <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-1</span></code>; this exception will
 | 
						||
be printed as an unraisable exception using <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#c.PyErr_WriteUnraisable" title="PyErr_WriteUnraisable"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyErr_WriteUnraisable()</span></code></a>.
 | 
						||
Otherwise it should return <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code>.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>There may already be a pending exception set on entry to the callback. In
 | 
						||
this case, the callback should return <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code> with the same exception still
 | 
						||
set. This means the callback may not call any other API that can set an
 | 
						||
exception unless it saves and clears the exception state first, and restores
 | 
						||
it before returning.</p>
