Editing C standard library (section)

=== Python ===
[[CPython]] includes wrappers for some of the C library functions in its own common library, and it also grants more direct access to C functions and variables via its ''{{mono|ctypes}}'' package.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html |title=ctypes—A foreign function library for Python |publisher=docs.python.com |access-date=9 October 2024}}</ref>

More generally, [[Python (programming language)|Python]] [[History of Python#Version 2|2.{{var|x}}]] specifies the built-in file objects as being “implemented using C's ''stdio'' package,"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#bltin-file-objects#bltin-file-objects |title=The Python Standard Library, §5.9: File Objects |access-date=9 October 2024 |quote=File objects are implemented using C’s <i>stdio</i> package and can be created with the built-in <code>open()</code> function.}}</ref> and frequent reference is made to C standard library behaviors; the available operations ({{code|open|lang=python}}, {{code|read|lang=python}}, {{code|write|lang=python}} {{^|Could link these to Python2 docs, but I’m here for C and C++}}, etc.) are expected to have the same behavior as the corresponding C functions ({{code|fopen|lang=c}}, {{code|fread|lang=c}}, {{code|fwrite|lang=c}}, etc.).

[[History of Python#Version 3|Python 3]]’s specification relies considerably less on C specifics than [[History of Python#Version 2|Python 2]], however.
