Python C API: Constructing bool (True, False) values

[Tim Peters]

[Lexy Zhitenev]

I need to write a function in C that returns bool (True or False value).
What function in Python C API stands for this?

Py_True and Py_False are global constants, like Py_None. So, e.g.,

Py_INCREF(Py_True);
return Py_True;

to return True (in Python 2.3; before 2.3, Py_True resolves to the int 1).

Can anybody help me:

Perhaps he's looking for PyObject_IsTrue()?
