Well, google doesn't know, and the Python source code tells me that:
static int
extra_ivars(PyTypeObject *type, PyTypeObject *base)
{
size_t t_size = type->tp_basicsize;
size_t b_size = base->tp_basicsize;
assert(t_size >= b_size); /* Else type smaller than base! */
/* ... */
-- but I'm not sure that gets you much further.
This really sounds like material for comp.lang.python, because I'm
almost positive it's not going to be directly related to PyGTK, and even
if it is, I have a hunch nobody here knows the answer <wink>
You might try python-help, alternatively.
Take care,
