The ``get`` function takes one :c:type:`PyObject\*` parameter (the
instance) and a function pointer (the associated ``closure``)::
typedef PyObject *(*getter)(PyObject *, void *);
It should return a new reference on success or *NULL* with a set exception
on failure.
``set`` functions take two :c:type:`PyObject\*` parameters (the instance and
the value to be set) and a function pointer (the associated ``closure``)::
typedef int (*setter)(PyObject *, PyObject *, void *);
In case the attribute should be deleted the second parameter is *NULL*.
Should return ``0`` on success or ``-1`` with a set exception on failure.
