<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>
