+   Typically, *ml* is defined as a static variable.

+   The *self* parameter will be passed as the *self* argument
+   to the C function in ``ml->ml_meth`` when invoked.
+   *self* can be ``NULL``.
+
+   The :term:`callable` object's ``__module__`` attribute
+   can be set from the given *module* argument.
+   *module* should be a Python string,
+   which will be used as name of the module the function is defined in.
+   If unavailable, it can be set to :const:`None` or ``NULL``.
