9:c:func:`PyObject_DelItem`.

11
12.. c:function:: int PyMapping_Check(PyObject *o)
13
14   Return ``1`` if the object provides mapping protocol or supports slicing,
15   and ``0`` otherwise.  Note that it returns ``1`` for Python classes with
16   a :meth:`__getitem__` method since in general case it is impossible to
17   determine what the type of keys it supports.  This function always
18   succeeds.
19
20
21.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Size(PyObject *o)
22               Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Length(PyObject *o)
23
24   .. index:: builtin: len
25
26   Returns the number of keys in object *o* on success, and ``-1`` on failure.
27   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``len(o)``.
28
29
30.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_GetItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
31
32   Return element of *o* corresponding to the string *key* or *NULL* on failure.
33   This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o[key]``.
34   See also :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem`.
35
36
37.. c:function:: int PyMapping_SetItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key, PyObject *v)
38
39   Map the string *key* to the value *v* in object *o*.  Returns ``-1`` on
40   failure.  This is the equivalent of the Python statement ``o[key] = v``.
41   See also :c:func:`PyObject_SetItem`.
42
43
44.. c:function:: int PyMapping_DelItem(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
45
46   Remove the mapping for the object *key* from the object *o*.  Return ``-1``
47   on failure.  This is equivalent to the Python statement ``del o[key]``.
48   This is an alias of :c:func:`PyObject_DelItem`.
49
50
51.. c:function:: int PyMapping_DelItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
52
53   Remove the mapping for the string *key* from the object *o*.  Return ``-1``
54   on failure.  This is equivalent to the Python statement ``del o[key]``.
55
56
57.. c:function:: int PyMapping_HasKey(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
58
59   Return ``1`` if the mapping object has the key *key* and ``0`` otherwise.
60   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``key in o``.
61   This function always succeeds.
62
63   Note that exceptions which occur while calling the :meth:`__getitem__`
64   method will get suppressed.
65   To get error reporting use :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem()` instead.
66
67
68.. c:function:: int PyMapping_HasKeyString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
69
70   Return ``1`` if the mapping object has the key *key* and ``0`` otherwise.
71   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``key in o``.
72   This function always succeeds.
73
74   Note that exceptions which occur while calling the :meth:`__getitem__`
75   method and creating a temporary string object will get suppressed.
76   To get error reporting use :c:func:`PyMapping_GetItemString()` instead.
77
78
79.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_Keys(PyObject *o)
80
81   On success, return a list of the keys in object *o*.  On failure, return
82   *NULL*.
83
84   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
85      Previously, the function returned a list or a tuple.
86
87
88.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_Values(PyObject *o)
89
90   On success, return a list of the values in object *o*.  On failure, return
91   *NULL*.
92
93   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
94      Previously, the function returned a list or a tuple.
95
96
97.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_Items(PyObject *o)
98
99   On success, return a list of the items in object *o*, where each item is a
100   tuple containing a key-value pair.  On failure, return *NULL*.
101
102   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
103      Previously, the function returned a list or a tuple.
