\noindent
This manual documents the API used by C and \Cpp{} programmers who
want to write extension modules or embed Python. It is a companion to
\citetitle[../ext/ext.html]{Extending and Embedding the Python
Interpreter}, which describes the general principles of extension
writing but does not document the API functions in detail.
\warning{The current version of this document is incomplete. I hope
that it is nevertheless useful. I will continue to work on it, and
release new versions from time to time, independent from Python source
code releases.}
