the object type of object \var{o}. On failure, raises the object type of object \var{o}. On failure, raises
\exception{SystemError} and returns \NULL. This is equivalent to \exception{SystemError} and returns \NULL. This is equivalent to
the Python expression \code{type(\var{o})}. the Python expression \code{type(\var{o})}.
This function increments the reference count of the return value.
There's really no reason to use this function instead of the
common expression \code{\var{o}->ob_type}, which returns a pointer
of type \code{PyTypeObject *}, except when the incremented reference
count is needed.
