This is for use primarily in marshal-type functions,when a new object needs to be created ``magically'' and not by using theregular creation functions. This module provides a low-level interfaceto the interpreter, so care must be exercised when using this module.It is possible to supply non-sensical arguments which crash theinterpreter when the object is used. The \module{new} module defines the following functions: \begin{funcdesc}{instance}{class\optional{, dict}}This function creates an instance of \var{class} with dictionary\var{dict} without calling the \method{__init__()} constructor.  If\var{dict} is omitted or \code{None}, a new, empty dictionary iscreated for the new instance.  Note that there are no guarantees thatthe object will be in a consistent state.\end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{instancemethod}{function, instance, class}This function will return a method object, bound to \var{instance}, orunbound if \var{instance} is \code{None}.  \var{function} must becallable.\end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{function}{code, globals\optional{, name\optional{,                           argdefs\optional{, closure}}}}Returns a (Python) function with the given code and globals. If\var{name} is given, it must be a string or \code{None}.  If it is astring, the function will have the given name, otherwise the functionname will be taken from \code{\var{code}.co_name}.  If\var{argdefs} is given, it must be a tuple and will be used todetermine the default values of parameters.  If \var{closure} is given,it must be \code{None} or a tuple of cell objects containing objectsto bind to the names in \code{\var{code}.co_freevars}.\end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{code}{argcount, nlocals, stacksize, flags, codestring,                       constants, names, varnames, filename, name, firstlineno,                       lnotab}This function is an interface to the \cfunction{PyCode_New()} Cfunction.%XXX This is still undocumented!!!!!!!!!!!\end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{module}{name[, doc]}This function returns a new module object with name \var{name}.\var{name} must be a string.The optional \var{doc} argument can have any type.\end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{classobj}{name, baseclasses, dict}This function returns a new class object, with name \var{name}, derivedfrom \var{baseclasses} (which should be a tuple of classes) and withnamespace \var{dict}.\end{funcdesc}
