Set Objects
***********

This section details the public API for "set" and "frozenset" objects.
Any functionality not listed below is best accessed using either the
abstract object protocol (including "PyObject_CallMethod()",
"PyObject_RichCompareBool()", "PyObject_Hash()", "PyObject_Repr()",
"PyObject_IsTrue()", "PyObject_Print()", and "PyObject_GetIter()") or
the abstract number protocol (including "PyNumber_And()",
"PyNumber_Subtract()", "PyNumber_Or()", "PyNumber_Xor()",
"PyNumber_InPlaceAnd()", "PyNumber_InPlaceSubtract()",
"PyNumber_InPlaceOr()", and "PyNumber_InPlaceXor()").

type PySetObject

   This subtype of "PyObject" is used to hold the internal data for
   both "set" and "frozenset" objects.  It is like a "PyDictObject" in
   that it is a fixed size for small sets (much like tuple storage)
   and will point to a separate, variable sized block of memory for
   medium and large sized sets (much like list storage). None of the
   fields of this structure should be considered public and all are
   subject to change.  All access should be done through the
   documented API rather than by manipulating the values in the
   structure.

PyTypeObject PySet_Type
    * Część stabilnego ABI.*

   This is an instance of "PyTypeObject" representing the Python "set"
   type.

PyTypeObject PyFrozenSet_Type
    * Część stabilnego ABI.*

   This is an instance of "PyTypeObject" representing the Python
   "frozenset" type.

The following type check macros work on pointers to any Python object.
Likewise, the constructor functions work with any iterable Python
object.

int PySet_Check(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "set" object or an instance of a subtype.
   This function always succeeds.

int PyFrozenSet_Check(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "frozenset" object or an instance of a
   subtype.  This function always succeeds.

int PyAnySet_Check(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "set" object, a "frozenset" object, or an
   instance of a subtype.  This function always succeeds.

int PySet_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "set" object but not an instance of a
   subtype.  This function always succeeds.

    Dodane w wersji 3.10.

int PyAnySet_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "set" object or a "frozenset" object but
   not an instance of a subtype.  This function always succeeds.

int PyFrozenSet_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "frozenset" object but not an instance of a
   subtype.  This function always succeeds.

PyObject *PySet_New(PyObject *iterable)
    *Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.**
   Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use on the same object.*

   Return a new "set" containing objects returned by the *iterable*.
   The *iterable* may be "NULL" to create a new empty set.  Return the
   new set on success or "NULL" on failure.  Raise "TypeError" if
   *iterable* is not actually iterable.  The constructor is also
   useful for copying a set ("c=set(s)").

   Informacja:

     The operation is atomic on *free threading* when *iterable* is a
     "set", "frozenset", "dict" or "frozendict".

PyObject *PyFrozenSet_New(PyObject *iterable)
    *Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.**
   Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use on the same object.*

   Return a new "frozenset" containing objects returned by the
   *iterable*. The *iterable* may be "NULL" to create a new empty
   frozenset.  Return the new set on success or "NULL" on failure.
   Raise "TypeError" if *iterable* is not actually iterable.

   Informacja:

     The operation is atomic on *free threading* when *iterable* is a
     "set", "frozenset", "dict" or "frozendict".

The following functions and macros are available for instances of
"set" or "frozenset" or instances of their subtypes.

Py_ssize_t PySet_Size(PyObject *anyset)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Return the length of a "set" or "frozenset" object. Equivalent to
   "len(anyset)".  Raises a "SystemError" if *anyset* is not a "set",
   "frozenset", or an instance of a subtype.

Py_ssize_t PySet_GET_SIZE(PyObject *anyset)
    * Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Macro form of "PySet_Size()" without error checking.

int PySet_Contains(PyObject *anyset, PyObject *key)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use
   on the same object.*

   Return "1" if found, "0" if not found, and "-1" if an error is
   encountered.  Unlike the Python "__contains__()" method, this
   function does not automatically convert unhashable sets into
   temporary frozensets.  Raise a "TypeError" if the *key* is
   unhashable. Raise "SystemError" if *anyset* is not a "set",
   "frozenset", or an instance of a subtype.

   Informacja:

     The operation is atomic on *free threading* when *key* is "str",
     "int", "float", "bool" or "bytes".

int PySet_Add(PyObject *set, PyObject *key)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use
   on the same object.*

   Add *key* to a "set" instance.  Also works with "frozenset"
   instances (like "PyTuple_SetItem()" it can be used to fill in the
   values of brand new frozensets before they are exposed to other
   code).  Return "0" on success or "-1" on failure. Raise a
   "TypeError" if the *key* is unhashable. Raise a "MemoryError" if
   there is no room to grow.  Raise a "SystemError" if *set* is not an
   instance of "set" or its subtype.

   Informacja:

     The operation is atomic on *free threading* when *key* is "str",
     "int", "float", "bool" or "bytes".

The following functions are available for instances of "set" or its
subtypes but not for instances of "frozenset" or its subtypes.

int PySet_Discard(PyObject *set, PyObject *key)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use
   on the same object.*

   Return "1" if found and removed, "0" if not found (no action
   taken), and "-1" if an error is encountered.  Does not raise
   "KeyError" for missing keys.  Raise a "TypeError" if the *key* is
   unhashable.  Unlike the Python "discard()" method, this function
   does not automatically convert unhashable sets into temporary
   frozensets. Raise "SystemError" if *set* is not an instance of
   "set" or its subtype.

   Informacja:

     The operation is atomic on *free threading* when *key* is "str",
     "int", "float", "bool" or "bytes".

PyObject *PySet_Pop(PyObject *set)
    *Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.**
   Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Return a new reference to an arbitrary object in the *set*, and
   removes the object from the *set*.  Return "NULL" on failure.
   Raise "KeyError" if the set is empty. Raise a "SystemError" if
   *set* is not an instance of "set" or its subtype.

int PySet_Clear(PyObject *set)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Empty an existing set of all elements. Return "0" on success.
   Return "-1" and raise "SystemError" if *set* is not an instance of
   "set" or its subtype.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, the set is emptied before its
     entries are cleared, so other threads will observe an empty set
     rather than intermediate states.


Deprecated API
==============

PySet_MINSIZE

   A constant representing the size of an internal preallocated table
   inside "PySetObject" instances.

   This is documented solely for completeness, as there are no
   guarantees that a given version of CPython uses preallocated tables
   with a fixed size. In code that does not deal with unstable set
   internals, "PySet_MINSIZE" can be replaced with a small constant
   like "8".

   If looking for the size of a set, use "PySet_Size()" instead.

   Soft deprecated since version 3.14.
