9.. c:function:: int PySequence_Check(PyObject *o)
10
11   Return ``1`` if the object provides sequence protocol, and ``0`` otherwise.
12   This function always succeeds.
13
14
15.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PySequence_Size(PyObject *o)
16               Py_ssize_t PySequence_Length(PyObject *o)
17
18   .. index:: builtin: len
19
20   Returns the number of objects in sequence *o* on success, and ``-1`` on failure.
21   For objects that do not provide sequence protocol, this is equivalent to the
22   Python expression ``len(o)``.
23
24
25.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_Concat(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
26
27   Return the concatenation of *o1* and *o2* on success, and *NULL* on failure.
28   This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o1 + o2``.
29
30
31.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_Repeat(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t count)
32
33   Return the result of repeating sequence object *o* *count* times, or *NULL* on
34   failure.  This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o * count``.
35
36
37.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_InPlaceConcat(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)
38
39   Return the concatenation of *o1* and *o2* on success, and *NULL* on failure.
40   The operation is done *in-place* when *o1* supports it.  This is the equivalent
41   of the Python expression ``o1 += o2``.
42
43
44.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_InPlaceRepeat(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t count)
45
46   Return the result of repeating sequence object *o* *count* times, or *NULL* on
47   failure.  The operation is done *in-place* when *o* supports it.  This is the
48   equivalent of the Python expression ``o *= count``.
49
50
51.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_GetItem(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)
52
53   Return the *i*\ th element of *o*, or *NULL* on failure. This is the equivalent of
54   the Python expression ``o[i]``.
55
56
57.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_GetSlice(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i1, Py_ssize_t i2)
58
59   Return the slice of sequence object *o* between *i1* and *i2*, or *NULL* on
60   failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o[i1:i2]``.
61
62
63.. c:function:: int PySequence_SetItem(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i, PyObject *v)
64
65   Assign object *v* to the *i*\ th element of *o*.  Raise an exception
66   and return ``-1`` on failure; return ``0`` on success.  This
67   is the equivalent of the Python statement ``o[i] = v``.  This function *does
68   not* steal a reference to *v*.
69
70   If *v* is *NULL*, the element is deleted, however this feature is
71   deprecated in favour of using :c:func:`PySequence_DelItem`.
72
73
74.. c:function:: int PySequence_DelItem(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)
75
76   Delete the *i*\ th element of object *o*.  Returns ``-1`` on failure.  This is the
77   equivalent of the Python statement ``del o[i]``.
78
79
80.. c:function:: int PySequence_SetSlice(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i1, Py_ssize_t i2, PyObject *v)
81
82   Assign the sequence object *v* to the slice in sequence object *o* from *i1* to
83   *i2*.  This is the equivalent of the Python statement ``o[i1:i2] = v``.
84
85
86.. c:function:: int PySequence_DelSlice(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i1, Py_ssize_t i2)
87
88   Delete the slice in sequence object *o* from *i1* to *i2*.  Returns ``-1`` on
89   failure.  This is the equivalent of the Python statement ``del o[i1:i2]``.
90
91
92.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PySequence_Count(PyObject *o, PyObject *value)
93
94   Return the number of occurrences of *value* in *o*, that is, return the number
95   of keys for which ``o[key] == value``.  On failure, return ``-1``.  This is
96   equivalent to the Python expression ``o.count(value)``.
97
98
99.. c:function:: int PySequence_Contains(PyObject *o, PyObject *value)
100
101   Determine if *o* contains *value*.  If an item in *o* is equal to *value*,
102   return ``1``, otherwise return ``0``. On error, return ``-1``.  This is
103   equivalent to the Python expression ``value in o``.
104
105
106.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PySequence_Index(PyObject *o, PyObject *value)
107
108   Return the first index *i* for which ``o[i] == value``.  On error, return
109   ``-1``.    This is equivalent to the Python expression ``o.index(value)``.
110
111
112.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_List(PyObject *o)
113
114   Return a list object with the same contents as the sequence or iterable *o*,
115   or *NULL* on failure.  The returned list is guaranteed to be new.  This is
116   equivalent to the Python expression ``list(o)``.
117
118
119.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_Tuple(PyObject *o)
120
121   .. index:: builtin: tuple
122
123   Return a tuple object with the same contents as the arbitrary sequence *o* or
124   *NULL* on failure.  If *o* is a tuple, a new reference will be returned,
125   otherwise a tuple will be constructed with the appropriate contents.  This is
126   equivalent to the Python expression ``tuple(o)``.
127
128
129.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_Fast(PyObject *o, const char *m)
130
131   Return the sequence *o* as a list, unless it is already a tuple or list, in
132   which case *o* is returned.  Use :c:func:`PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM` to access
133   the members of the result.  Returns *NULL* on failure.  If the object is not
134   a sequence, raises :exc:`TypeError` with *m* as the message text.
135
136
137.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)
138
139   Return the *i*\ th element of *o*, assuming that *o* was returned by
140   :c:func:`PySequence_Fast`, *o* is not *NULL*, and that *i* is within bounds.
141
142
143.. c:function:: PyObject** PySequence_Fast_ITEMS(PyObject *o)
144
145   Return the underlying array of PyObject pointers.  Assumes that *o* was returned
146   by :c:func:`PySequence_Fast` and *o* is not *NULL*.
147
148   Note, if a list gets resized, the reallocation may relocate the items array.
149   So, only use the underlying array pointer in contexts where the sequence
150   cannot change.
151
152
153.. c:function:: PyObject* PySequence_ITEM(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)
154
155   Return the *i*\ th element of *o* or *NULL* on failure. Macro form of
156   :c:func:`PySequence_GetItem` but without checking that
157   :c:func:`PySequence_Check` on *o* is true and without adjustment for negative
158   indices.
159
160
161.. c:function:: Py_ssize_t PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE(PyObject *o)
162
163   Returns the length of *o*, assuming that *o* was returned by
164   :c:func:`PySequence_Fast` and that *o* is not *NULL*.  The size can also be
165   gotten by calling :c:func:`PySequence_Size` on *o*, but
166   :c:func:`PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE` is faster because it can assume *o* is a list
167   or tuple.
