+ * This initializes the Python interpreter, and creates and initializes
+ * a "sigrok" Python module with a single put() method.
+ *
+ * Then, it searches for sigrok protocol decoder files (*.py) in the
+ * "decoders" subdirectory of the the sigrok installation directory.
+ * All decoders that are found are loaded into memory and added to an
+ * internal list of decoders, which can be queried via srd_list_decoders().
+ *
+ * The caller is responsible for calling the clean-up function srd_exit(),
+ * which will properly shut down libsigrokdecode and free its allocated memory.
+ *
+ * Multiple calls to srd_init(), without calling srd_exit() inbetween,
+ * are not allowed.
+ *
+ * @return SRD_OK upon success, a (negative) error code otherwise.
+ * Upon Python errors, return SRD_ERR_PYTHON. If the sigrok decoders
+ * directory cannot be accessed, return SRD_ERR_DECODERS_DIR.
+ * If not enough memory could be allocated, return SRD_ERR_MALLOC.
