7.3.1 Dictionary Objects

PyDictObject
This subtype of PyObject represents a Python dictionary object.
PyTypeObject PyDict_Type
This instance of PyTypeObject represents the Python dictionary type. This is exposed to Python programs as types.DictType and types.DictionaryType.
int PyDict_Check (PyObject *p)
Returns true if its argument is a PyDictObject.
PyObject* PyDict_New ()
Return value: New reference.
Returns a new empty dictionary, or NULL on failure.
void PyDict_Clear (PyObject *p)
Empties an existing dictionary of all key/value pairs.
int PyDict_SetItem (PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject *val)
Inserts value into the dictionary with a key of key. key must be hashable; if it isn't, TypeError will be raised.
int PyDict_SetItemString (PyObject *p, char *key, PyObject *val)
Inserts value into the dictionary using key as a key. key should be a char*. The key object is created using PyString_FromString(key).
int PyDict_DelItem (PyObject *p, PyObject *key)
Removes the entry in dictionary p with key key. key must be hashable; if it isn't, TypeError is raised.
int PyDict_DelItemString (PyObject *p, char *key)
Removes the entry in dictionary p which has a key specified by the string key.
PyObject* PyDict_GetItem (PyObject *p, PyObject *key)
Return value: Borrowed reference.
Returns the object from dictionary p which has a key key. Returns NULL if the key key is not present, but without setting an exception.
PyObject* PyDict_GetItemString (PyObject *p, char *key)
Return value: Borrowed reference.
This is the same as PyDict_GetItem(), but key is specified as a char*, rather than a PyObject*.
PyObject* PyDict_Items (PyObject *p)
Return value: New reference.
Returns a PyListObject containing all the items from the dictionary, as in the dictinoary method items() (see the Python Library Reference).
PyObject* PyDict_Keys (PyObject *p)
Return value: New reference.
Returns a PyListObject containing all the keys from the dictionary, as in the dictionary method keys() (see the Python Library Reference).
PyObject* PyDict_Values (PyObject *p)
Return value: New reference.
Returns a PyListObject containing all the values from the dictionary p, as in the dictionary method values() (see the Python Library Reference).
int PyDict_Size (PyObject *p)
Returns the number of items in the dictionary. This is equivalent to "len(p)" on a dictionary.
int PyDict_Next (PyDictObject *p, int ppos, PyObject **pkey, PyObject **pvalue)
