Audit events table

This table contains all events raised by sys.audit() or PySys_Audit() calls throughout the CPython runtime and the standard library.

See sys.addaudithook() and PySys_AddAuditHook() for information on handling these events.

CPython implementation detail: This table is generated from the CPython documentation, and may not represent events raised by other implementations. See your runtime specific documentation for actual events raised.
