The most popular Civ4 Python API reference online http://civ4bug.sourceforge.net/PythonAPI/index.html gives us a very good introduction to module CvPythonExtensions.
Unfortunately, not all of Python objects brought by CvPythonExtensions are mentioned in that reference.
I guess that reference is mainly built on pydoc.help(CvPythonExtensions). Namely, that reference is a reorganization of pydoc.help(CvPythonExtensions).
I noticed the function objects in CvPythonExtensions are undocumented by pydoc for some unknown reason. Thus I thought this is why the online reference is incomplete.
For example, in BtS 3.19, those missing functions are:
There are two sources of those undocumented APIs, CyGameCoreUtilsInterface.cpp and exe.
IMHO, those functions defined by CyGameCoreUtilsPythonInterface() in CyGameCoreUtilsInterface.cpp are useful, but quite ordinary.
Those functions brought by exe, at lease some of them, are really interesting.
For instance, callUpdater, I guess it is equivalent to gDLL->callUpdater().
addImportModule and loadImportModule, with no help, I don't know the real purpose of them and how to use them. But I guess they will be essential under special circumstances.
lots of APIs for WB, etc.
