5Mapping Protocol

8See also :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem`, :c:func:`PyObject_SetItem` and
9:c:func:`PyObject_DelItem`.

11
12.. c:function:: int PyMapping_Check(PyObject *o)
13
14   Return ``1`` if the object provides the mapping protocol or supports slicing,
15   and ``0`` otherwise.  Note that it returns ``1`` for Python classes with
16   a :meth:`~object.__getitem__` method, since in general it is impossible to
17   determine what type of keys the class supports. This function always succeeds.
18
19
20.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Size(PyObject *o)
21               Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Length(PyObject *o)
22
23   .. index:: pair: built-in function; len
24
25   Returns the number of keys in object *o* on success, and ``-1`` on failure.
26   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``len(o)``.
27
28
29.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_GetItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
30
31   This is the same as :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem`, but *key* is
32   specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string,
33   rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
34
35
36.. c:function:: int PyMapping_GetOptionalItem(PyObject *obj, PyObject *key, PyObject **result)
37
38   Variant of :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem` which doesn't raise
39   :exc:`KeyError` if the key is not found.
40
41   If the key is found, return ``1`` and set *\*result* to a new
42   :term:`strong reference` to the corresponding value.
43   If the key is not found, return ``0`` and set *\*result* to ``NULL``;
44   the :exc:`KeyError` is silenced.
45   If an error other than :exc:`KeyError` is raised, return ``-1`` and
46   set *\*result* to ``NULL``.

50
51.. c:function:: int PyMapping_GetOptionalItemString(PyObject *obj, const char *key, PyObject **result)
52
53   This is the same as :c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItem`, but *key* is
54   specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string,
55   rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
56
57   .. versionadded:: 3.13
58
59
60.. c:function:: int PyMapping_SetItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key, PyObject *v)
61
62   This is the same as :c:func:`PyObject_SetItem`, but *key* is
63   specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string,
64   rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
65
66
67.. c:function:: int PyMapping_DelItem(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
68
69   This is an alias of :c:func:`PyObject_DelItem`.
70
71
72.. c:function:: int PyMapping_DelItemString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
73
74   This is the same as :c:func:`PyObject_DelItem`, but *key* is
75   specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string,
76   rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
77
78
79.. c:function:: int PyMapping_HasKeyWithError(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
80
81   Return ``1`` if the mapping object has the key *key* and ``0`` otherwise.
82   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``key in o``.
83   On failure, return ``-1``.
84
85   .. versionadded:: 3.13
86
87
88.. c:function:: int PyMapping_HasKeyStringWithError(PyObject *o, const char *key)
89
90   This is the same as :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyWithError`, but *key* is
91   specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string,
92   rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
93
94   .. versionadded:: 3.13
95
96
97.. c:function:: int PyMapping_HasKey(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
98
99   Return ``1`` if the mapping object has the key *key* and ``0`` otherwise.
100   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``key in o``.
101   This function always succeeds.
102
103   .. note::
104
105      Exceptions which occur when this calls :meth:`~object.__getitem__`
106      method are silently ignored.
107      For proper error handling, use :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyWithError`,
108      :c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItem` or :c:func:`PyObject_GetItem()` instead.
109
110
111.. c:function:: int PyMapping_HasKeyString(PyObject *o, const char *key)
112
113   This is the same as :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKey`, but *key* is
114   specified as a :c:expr:`const char*` UTF-8 encoded bytes string,
115   rather than a :c:expr:`PyObject*`.
116
117   .. note::
118
119      Exceptions that occur when this calls :meth:`~object.__getitem__`
120      method or while creating the temporary :class:`str`
121      object are silently ignored.
122      For proper error handling, use :c:func:`PyMapping_HasKeyStringWithError`,
123      :c:func:`PyMapping_GetOptionalItemString` or
124      :c:func:`PyMapping_GetItemString` instead.
125
126
127.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_Keys(PyObject *o)
128
129   On success, return a list of the keys in object *o*.  On failure, return
130   ``NULL``.
131
132   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
133      Previously, the function returned a list or a tuple.
134
135
136.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_Values(PyObject *o)
137
138   On success, return a list of the values in object *o*.  On failure, return
139   ``NULL``.
140
141   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
142      Previously, the function returned a list or a tuple.
143
144
145.. c:function:: PyObject* PyMapping_Items(PyObject *o)
146
147   On success, return a list of the items in object *o*, where each item is a
148   tuple containing a key-value pair.  On failure, return ``NULL``.
149
150   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
151      Previously, the function returned a list or a tuple.
