Here's a brief code snippet:

--------

static int ExampleObjectSetattr ( ExampleObject* self, char* name, PyObject* value )
{
    if (strcmp(name,"data")==0)
    {
        if (PyString_Check(value)) 
        {
            self->data = PyString_AsString(value);
            return 0;
        }
        else
        {
            PyErr_SetString(PyExc_AttributeError,"attempt to set data attribute to a value which is
not a string");
            return -1;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_AttributeError,"attempt to set unknown attribute on non dynamic
external type");
        return -1;
    }
}

--------

My presumption is that, in this instance, I don't increase the reference count
on the valuem because I've ascertained that it's a primitive (string, int, et
al).

However, if this were a real object, I'd be doing an INCREF() on it, and
furthermore, would have to take care to do a DECREF() on what I was assigning
over.

Do I have this right?



Thanks.
