Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way: - Use a class new method rather than a new function. - Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators - Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods. - Make the type usable as a base type. I split the example into 3 parts: 1. The minimal new type 2. Adding attributes and methods. 3. Finer control over attributes. It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully show this. I also made minor wording changes in two other places. I still need to update xxobject.c
