Mapping Protocol

int PyMapping_Check ( PyObject  *o )

Return 1 if the object provides mapping protocol, and 0 otherwise. This function always succeeds.

Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Size ( PyObject  *o )
Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Length ( PyObject  *o )

Returns the number of keys in object o on success, and -1 on failure. For objects that do not provide mapping protocol, this is equivalent to the Python expression len(o).

Changed in version 2.5: These functions returned an int type. This might require changes in your code for properly supporting 64-bit systems.

int PyMapping_DelItemString ( PyObject  *o, char  *key )

Remove the mapping for object key from the object o. Return -1 on failure. This is equivalent to the Python statement del o[key].

int PyMapping_DelItem ( PyObject  *o, PyObject  *key )

Remove the mapping for object key from the object o. Return -1 on failure. This is equivalent to the Python statement del o[key].

int PyMapping_HasKeyString ( PyObject  *o, char  *key )

On success, return 1 if the mapping object has the key key and 0 otherwise. This is equivalent to o[key], returning True on success and False on an exception. This function always succeeds.

int PyMapping_HasKey ( PyObject  *o, PyObject  *key )

Return 1 if the mapping object has the key key and 0 otherwise. This is equivalent to o[key], returning True on success and False on an exception. This function always succeeds.

PyObject* PyMapping_Keys ( PyObject  *o )
Return value: New reference.

On success, return a list of the keys in object o. On failure, return NULL. This is equivalent to the Python expression o.keys().

PyObject* PyMapping_Values ( PyObject  *o )
Return value: New reference.

On success, return a list of the values in object o. On failure, return NULL. This is equivalent to the Python expression o.values().

PyObject* PyMapping_Items ( PyObject  *o )
Return value: New reference.

On success, return a list of the items in object o, where each item is a tuple containing a key-value pair. On failure, return NULL. This is equivalent to the Python expression o.items().

PyObject* PyMapping_GetItemString ( PyObject  *o, char  *key )
Return value: New reference.

Return element of o corresponding to the object key or NULL on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o[key].

int PyMapping_SetItemString ( PyObject  *o, char  *key, PyObject  *v )

Map the object key to the value v in object o. Returns -1 on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python statement o[key] = v.
