Definitions

arity: The number of arguments accepted by a function or member function. Unless otherwise specified, the hidden "this" argument to member functions is not counted when specifying arity
ntbs: Null-Terminated Byte String, or `C'-string. C++ string literals are ntbses. An ntbs must never be null.
raise: Exceptions in Python are "raised", not "thrown", as they are in C++. When this documentation says that some Python exception is "raised" in the context of C++ code, it means that the corresponding Python exception is set via the Python/'C' API, and throw_error_already_set() is called.
