The function accepts both string and Unicode objects as input. For Unicode
objects it returns the default encoded version of the object. If *length* is

.. cfunction:: int _PyString_Resize(PyObject **string, Py_ssize_t newsize)
.. cfunction:: int _PyBytes_Resize(PyObject **bytes, Py_ssize_t newsize)
A way to resize a string object even though it is "immutable". Only use this to
build up a brand new string object; don't use this if the string may already be
known in other parts of the code. It is an error to call this function if the
refcount on the input string object is not one. Pass the address of an existing
string object as an lvalue (it may be written into), and the new size desired.
On success, *\*string* holds the resized string object and ``0`` is returned;
the address in *\*string* may differ from its input value. If the reallocation
fails, the original string object at *\*string* is deallocated, *\*string* is
set to *NULL*, a memory exception is set, and ``-1`` is returned.

Return a new bytes object from *format* and *args*. Analogous to ``format %
args``. The *args* argument must be a tuple.
.. cfunction:: void PyString_InternInPlace(PyObject **string)
Intern the argument *\*string* in place. The argument must be the address of a
pointer variable pointing to a Python string object. If there is an existing
interned string that is the same as *\*string*, it sets *\*string* to it
(decrementing the reference count of the old string object and incrementing the
reference count of the interned string object), otherwise it leaves *\*string*
alone and interns it (incrementing its reference count). (Clarification: even
though there is a lot of talk about reference counts, think of this function as
reference-count-neutral; you own the object after the call if and only if you
owned it before the call.)
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyString_InternFromString(const char *v)
A combination of :cfunc:`PyString_FromString` and
:cfunc:`PyString_InternInPlace`, returning either a new string object that has
been interned, or a new ("owned") reference to an earlier interned string object
with the same value.
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyString_Decode(const char *s, Py_ssize_t size, const char *encoding, const char *errors)
Create an object by decoding *size* bytes of the encoded buffer *s* using the
codec registered for *encoding*. *encoding* and *errors* have the same meaning
as the parameters of the same name in the :func:`unicode` built-in function.
The codec to be used is looked up using the Python codec registry. Return
*NULL* if an exception was raised by the codec.
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyString_AsDecodedObject(PyObject *str, const char *encoding, const char *errors)
Decode a string object by passing it to the codec registered for *encoding* and
return the result as Python object. *encoding* and *errors* have the same
meaning as the parameters of the same name in the string :meth:`encode` method.
The codec to be used is looked up using the Python codec registry. Return *NULL*
if an exception was raised by the codec.

Encode a string object using the codec registered for *encoding* and return the
result as Python object. *encoding* and *errors* have the same meaning as the
parameters of the same name in the string :meth:`encode` method. The codec to be
used is looked up using the Python codec registry. Return *NULL* if an exception
was raised by the codec.
