.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyProperty_Type
   The type object for the built-in descriptor types.

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewGetSet(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyGetSetDef *getset)

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewMember(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyMemberDef *meth)

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewMethod(PyTypeObject *type, struct PyMethodDef *meth)

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewWrapper(PyTypeObject *type, struct wrapperbase *wrapper, void *wrapped)

.. c:function:: PyObject* PyDescr_NewClassMethod(PyTypeObject *type, PyMethodDef *method)

.. c:function:: int PyDescr_IsData(PyObject *descr)
   Return true if the descriptor objects *descr* describes a data attribute, or
   false if it describes a method.  *descr* must be a descriptor object; there is
   no error checking.
