Dictionary objects
******************

type PyDictObject

   Ten podtyp "PyObject" reprezentuje obiekt słownika Pythona.

PyTypeObject PyDict_Type
    * Część stabilnego ABI.*

   Ta instancja "PyTypeObject" reprezentuje typ słownika Pythona.
   Jest to ten sam obiekt, co "dict" w warstwie Pythona.

int PyDict_Check(PyObject *p)
    * Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Zwraca wartość true, jeśli *p* jest obiektem typu dict lub
   instancją podtypu typu dict.  Funkcja ta zawsze kończy się
   powodzeniem.

int PyDict_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
    * Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Zwraca wartość true, jeśli *p* jest obiektem typu dict, ale nie
   jest instancją podtypu typu dict.  Funkcja ta zawsze kończy się
   powodzeniem.

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

   Zwraca nowy pusty słownik lub "NULL" w przypadku niepowodzenia.

PyObject *PyDictProxy_New(PyObject *mapping)
    *Wartość zwracana: nowa referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.*

   Return a "types.MappingProxyType" object for a mapping which
   enforces read-only behavior.  This is normally used to create a
   view to prevent modification of the dictionary for non-dynamic
   class types.

   The first argument can be a "dict", a "frozendict", or a mapping.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

PyTypeObject PyDictProxy_Type
    * Część stabilnego ABI.*

   The type object for mapping proxy objects created by
   "PyDictProxy_New()" and for the read-only "__dict__" attribute of
   many built-in types. A "PyDictProxy_Type" instance provides a
   dynamic, read-only view of an underlying dictionary: changes to the
   underlying dictionary are reflected in the proxy, but the proxy
   itself does not support mutation operations. This corresponds to
   "types.MappingProxyType" in Python.

void PyDict_Clear(PyObject *p)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Empty an existing dictionary of all key-value pairs.

   Do nothing if the argument is not a "dict" or a "dict" subclass.

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

   Determine if dictionary *p* contains *key*.  If an item in *p*
   matches *key*, return "1", otherwise return "0".  On error, return
   "-1". This is equivalent to the Python expression "key in p".

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Informacja:

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

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

int PyDict_ContainsString(PyObject *p, const char *key)
    * Thread safety: Atomic.*

   This is the same as "PyDict_Contains()", but *key* is specified as
   a const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

    Dodane w wersji 3.13.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

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

   Zwraca nowy słownik zawierający te same pary klucz-wartość co *p*.

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

   Insert *val* into the dictionary *p* with a key of *key*.  *key*
   must be *hashable*; if it isn't, "TypeError" will be raised. Return
   "0" on success or "-1" on failure.  This function *does not* steal
   a reference to *val*.

   Informacja:

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

int PyDict_SetItemString(PyObject *p, const char *key, PyObject *val)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   This is the same as "PyDict_SetItem()", but *key* is specified as a
   const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

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

   Remove the entry in dictionary *p* with key *key*. *key* must be
   *hashable*; if it isn't, "TypeError" is raised. If *key* is not in
   the dictionary, "KeyError" is raised. Return "0" on success or "-1"
   on failure.

   Informacja:

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

int PyDict_DelItemString(PyObject *p, const char *key)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   This is the same as "PyDict_DelItem()", but *key* is specified as a
   const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

int PyDict_GetItemRef(PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject **result)
    * Część stabilnego ABI od wersji 3.13.** Thread safety: Safe for
   concurrent use on the same object.*

   Return a new *strong reference* to the object from dictionary *p*
   which has a key *key*:

   * If the key is present, set **result* to a new *strong reference*
     to the value and return "1".

   * If the key is missing, set **result* to "NULL" and return "0".

   * On error, raise an exception, set **result* to "NULL" and return
     "-1".

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Informacja:

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

    Dodane w wersji 3.13.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

   See also the "PyObject_GetItem()" function.

PyObject *PyDict_GetItem(PyObject *p, PyObject *key)
    *Wartość zwracana: pożyczona referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.**
   Thread safety: Safe to call from multiple threads with external
   synchronization only.*

   Return a *borrowed reference* to the object from dictionary *p*
   which has a key *key*.  Return "NULL" if the key *key* is missing
   *without* setting an exception.

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Informacja:

     Exceptions that occur while this calls "__hash__()" and
     "__eq__()" methods are silently ignored. Prefer the
     "PyDict_GetItemWithError()" function instead.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, the returned *borrowed reference*
     may become invalid if another thread modifies the dictionary
     concurrently. Prefer "PyDict_GetItemRef()", which returns a
     *strong reference*.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.10: Calling this API without an *attached
   thread state* had been allowed for historical reason. It is no
   longer allowed.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

PyObject *PyDict_GetItemWithError(PyObject *p, PyObject *key)
    *Wartość zwracana: pożyczona referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.**
   Thread safety: Safe to call from multiple threads with external
   synchronization only.*

   Variant of "PyDict_GetItem()" that does not suppress exceptions.
   Return "NULL" **with** an exception set if an exception occurred.
   Return "NULL" **without** an exception set if the key wasn't
   present.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, the returned *borrowed reference*
     may become invalid if another thread modifies the dictionary
     concurrently. Prefer "PyDict_GetItemRef()", which returns a
     *strong reference*.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

PyObject *PyDict_GetItemString(PyObject *p, const char *key)
    *Wartość zwracana: pożyczona referencja.** Część stabilnego ABI.**
   Thread safety: Safe to call from multiple threads with external
   synchronization only.*

   This is the same as "PyDict_GetItem()", but *key* is specified as a
   const char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

   Informacja:

     Exceptions that occur while this calls "__hash__()" and
     "__eq__()" methods or while creating the temporary "str" object
     are silently ignored. Prefer using the
     "PyDict_GetItemWithError()" function with your own
     "PyUnicode_FromString()" *key* instead.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, the returned *borrowed reference*
     may become invalid if another thread modifies the dictionary
     concurrently. Prefer "PyDict_GetItemStringRef()", which returns a
     *strong reference*.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

int PyDict_GetItemStringRef(PyObject *p, const char *key, PyObject **result)
    * Część stabilnego ABI od wersji 3.13.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Similar to "PyDict_GetItemRef()", but *key* is specified as a const
   char* UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

    Dodane w wersji 3.13.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

PyObject *PyDict_SetDefault(PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject *defaultobj)
    *Wartość zwracana: pożyczona referencja.** Thread safety: Safe to
   call from multiple threads with external synchronization only.*

   This is the same as the Python-level "dict.setdefault()".  If
   present, it returns the value corresponding to *key* from the
   dictionary *p*.  If the key is not in the dict, it is inserted with
   value *defaultobj* and *defaultobj* is returned.  This function
   evaluates the hash function of *key* only once, instead of
   evaluating it independently for the lookup and the insertion.

    Dodane w wersji 3.4.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, the returned *borrowed reference*
     may become invalid if another thread modifies the dictionary
     concurrently. Prefer "PyDict_SetDefaultRef()", which returns a
     *strong reference*.

int PyDict_SetDefaultRef(PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject *default_value, PyObject **result)
    * Część stabilnego ABI od wersji 3.15.** Thread safety: Safe for
   concurrent use on the same object.*

   Inserts *default_value* into the dictionary *p* with a key of *key*
   if the key is not already present in the dictionary. If *result* is
   not "NULL", then **result* is set to a *strong reference* to either
   *default_value*, if the key was not present, or the existing value,
   if *key* was already present in the dictionary. Returns "1" if the
   key was present and *default_value* was not inserted, or "0" if the
   key was not present and *default_value* was inserted. On failure,
   returns "-1", sets an exception, and sets "*result" to "NULL".

   For clarity: if you have a strong reference to *default_value*
   before calling this function, then after it returns, you hold a
   strong reference to both *default_value* and **result* (if it's not
   "NULL"). These may refer to the same object: in that case you hold
   two separate references to it.

   Informacja:

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

    Dodane w wersji 3.13.

int PyDict_Pop(PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject **result)
    * Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use on the same object.*

   Remove *key* from dictionary *p* and optionally return the removed
   value. Do not raise "KeyError" if the key is missing.

   * If the key is present, set **result* to a new reference to the
     removed value if *result* is not "NULL", and return "1".

   * If the key is missing, set **result* to "NULL" if *result* is not
     "NULL", and return "0".

   * On error, raise an exception and return "-1".

   Similar to "dict.pop()", but without the default value and not
   raising "KeyError" if the key is missing.

   Informacja:

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

    Dodane w wersji 3.13.

int PyDict_PopString(PyObject *p, const char *key, PyObject **result)
    * Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Similar to "PyDict_Pop()", but *key* is specified as a const char*
   UTF-8 encoded bytes string, rather than a PyObject*.

    Dodane w wersji 3.13.

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

   Return a "PyListObject" containing all the items from the
   dictionary.

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

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

   Return a "PyListObject" containing all the keys from the
   dictionary.

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

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

   Zwraca "PyListObject" zawierający wszystkie wartości ze słownika
   *p*.

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

Py_ssize_t PyDict_Size(PyObject *p)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Return the number of items in the dictionary.  This is equivalent
   to "len(p)" on a dictionary.

   The argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

Py_ssize_t PyDict_GET_SIZE(PyObject *p)
    * Thread safety: Atomic.*

   Similar to "PyDict_Size()", but without error checking.

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

int PyDict_Next(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t *ppos, PyObject **pkey, PyObject **pvalue)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe to call from
   multiple threads with external synchronization only.*

   Iterate over all key-value pairs in the dictionary *p*.  The
   "Py_ssize_t" referred to by *ppos* must be initialized to "0" prior
   to the first call to this function to start the iteration; the
   function returns true for each pair in the dictionary, and false
   once all pairs have been reported.  The parameters *pkey* and
   *pvalue* should either point to PyObject* variables that will be
   filled in with each key and value, respectively, or may be "NULL".
   Any references returned through them are borrowed.  *ppos* should
   not be altered during iteration. Its value represents offsets
   within the internal dictionary structure, and since the structure
   is sparse, the offsets are not consecutive.

   The first argument can be a "dict" or a "frozendict".

   Dla przykładu:

      PyObject *key, *value;
      Py_ssize_t pos = 0;

      while (PyDict_Next(self->dict, &pos, &key, &value)) {
          /* do something interesting with the values... */
          ...
      }

   The dictionary *p* should not be mutated during iteration.  It is
   safe to modify the values of the keys as you iterate over the
   dictionary, but only so long as the set of keys does not change.
   For example:

      PyObject *key, *value;
      Py_ssize_t pos = 0;

      while (PyDict_Next(self->dict, &pos, &key, &value)) {
          long i = PyLong_AsLong(value);
          if (i == -1 && PyErr_Occurred()) {
              return -1;
          }
          PyObject *o = PyLong_FromLong(i + 1);
          if (o == NULL)
              return -1;
          if (PyDict_SetItem(self->dict, key, o) < 0) {
              Py_DECREF(o);
              return -1;
          }
          Py_DECREF(o);
      }

   The function is not thread-safe in the *free-threaded* build
   without external synchronization for a mutable "dict". You can use
   "Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION" to lock the dictionary while iterating
   over it:

      Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION(self->dict);
      while (PyDict_Next(self->dict, &pos, &key, &value)) {
          ...
      }
      Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION();

   The function is thread-safe on a "frozendict".

   Informacja:

     On the free-threaded build, this function can be used safely
     inside a critical section. However, the references returned for
     *pkey* and *pvalue* are *borrowed* and are only valid while the
     critical section is held. If you need to use these objects
     outside the critical section or when the critical section can be
     suspended, create a *strong reference* (for example, using
     "Py_NewRef()").

   Zmienione w wersji 3.15: Also accept "frozendict".

int PyDict_Merge(PyObject *a, PyObject *b, int override)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use
   on the same object.*

   Iterate over mapping object *b* adding key-value pairs to
   dictionary *a*. *b* may be a dictionary, or any object supporting
   "PyMapping_Keys()" and "PyObject_GetItem()". If *override* is true,
   existing pairs in *a* will be replaced if a matching key is found
   in *b*, otherwise pairs will only be added if there is not a
   matching key in *a*. Return "0" on success or "-1" if an exception
   was raised.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, when *b* is a "dict" (with the
     standard iterator), both *a* and *b* are locked for the duration
     of the operation. When *b* is a non-dict mapping, only *a* is
     locked; *b* may be concurrently modified by another thread.

int PyDict_Update(PyObject *a, PyObject *b)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use
   on the same object.*

   This is the same as "PyDict_Merge(a, b, 1)" in C, and is similar to
   "a.update(b)" in Python except that "PyDict_Update()" doesn't fall
   back to the iterating over a sequence of key value pairs if the
   second argument has no "keys" attribute.  Return "0" on success or
   "-1" if an exception was raised.

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded build*, when *b* is a "dict" (with the
     standard iterator), both *a* and *b* are locked for the duration
     of the operation. When *b* is a non-dict mapping, only *a* is
     locked; *b* may be concurrently modified by another thread.

int PyDict_MergeFromSeq2(PyObject *a, PyObject *seq2, int override)
    * Część stabilnego ABI.** Thread safety: Safe for concurrent use
   on the same object.*

   Update or merge into dictionary *a*, from the key-value pairs in
   *seq2*. *seq2* must be an iterable object producing iterable
   objects of length 2, viewed as key-value pairs.  In case of
   duplicate keys, the last wins if *override* is true, else the first
   wins. Return "0" on success or "-1" if an exception was raised.
   Equivalent Python (except for the return value):

      def PyDict_MergeFromSeq2(a, seq2, override):
          for key, value in seq2:
              if override or key not in a:
                  a[key] = value

   Informacja:

     In the *free-threaded* build, only *a* is locked. The iteration
     over *seq2* is not synchronized; *seq2* may be concurrently
     modified by another thread.

int PyDict_AddWatcher(PyDict_WatchCallback callback)
    * Thread safety: Safe to call from multiple threads with external
   synchronization only.*

   Register *callback* as a dictionary watcher. Return a non-negative
   integer id which must be passed to future calls to
   "PyDict_Watch()". In case of error (e.g. no more watcher IDs
   available), return "-1" and set an exception.

   Informacja:

     This function is not internally synchronized. In the *free-
     threaded* build, callers should ensure no concurrent calls to
     "PyDict_AddWatcher()" or "PyDict_ClearWatcher()" are in progress.

    Dodane w wersji 3.12.

int PyDict_ClearWatcher(int watcher_id)
    * Thread safety: Safe to call from multiple threads with external
   synchronization only.*

   Clear watcher identified by *watcher_id* previously returned from
   "PyDict_AddWatcher()". Return "0" on success, "-1" on error (e.g.
   if the given *watcher_id* was never registered.)

   Informacja:

     This function is not internally synchronized. In the *free-
     threaded* build, callers should ensure no concurrent calls to
     "PyDict_AddWatcher()" or "PyDict_ClearWatcher()" are in progress.

    Dodane w wersji 3.12.

int PyDict_Watch(int watcher_id, PyObject *dict)
    * Thread safety: Safe to call without external synchronization on
   distinct objects.*

   Mark dictionary *dict* as watched. The callback granted
   *watcher_id* by "PyDict_AddWatcher()" will be called when *dict* is
   modified or deallocated. Return "0" on success or "-1" on error.

    Dodane w wersji 3.12.

int PyDict_Unwatch(int watcher_id, PyObject *dict)
    * Thread safety: Safe to call without external synchronization on
   distinct objects.*

   Mark dictionary *dict* as no longer watched. The callback granted
   *watcher_id* by "PyDict_AddWatcher()" will no longer be called when
   *dict* is modified or deallocated. The dict must previously have
   been watched by this watcher. Return "0" on success or "-1" on
   error.

    Dodane w wersji 3.12.

type PyDict_WatchEvent

   Enumeration of possible dictionary watcher events:
   "PyDict_EVENT_ADDED", "PyDict_EVENT_MODIFIED",
   "PyDict_EVENT_DELETED", "PyDict_EVENT_CLONED",
   "PyDict_EVENT_CLEARED", or "PyDict_EVENT_DEALLOCATED".

    Dodane w wersji 3.12.

typedef int (*PyDict_WatchCallback)(PyDict_WatchEvent event, PyObject *dict, PyObject *key, PyObject *new_value)

   Type of a dict watcher callback function.

   If *event* is "PyDict_EVENT_CLEARED" or "PyDict_EVENT_DEALLOCATED",
   both *key* and *new_value* will be "NULL". If *event* is
   "PyDict_EVENT_ADDED" or "PyDict_EVENT_MODIFIED", *new_value* will
   be the new value for *key*. If *event* is "PyDict_EVENT_DELETED",
   *key* is being deleted from the dictionary and *new_value* will be
   "NULL".

   "PyDict_EVENT_CLONED" occurs when *dict* was previously empty and
   another dict is merged into it. To maintain efficiency of this
   operation, per-key "PyDict_EVENT_ADDED" events are not issued in
   this case; instead a single "PyDict_EVENT_CLONED" is issued, and
   *key* will be the source dictionary.

   The callback may inspect but must not modify *dict*; doing so could
   have unpredictable effects, including infinite recursion. Do not
   trigger Python code execution in the callback, as it could modify
   the dict as a side effect.

   If *event* is "PyDict_EVENT_DEALLOCATED", taking a new reference in
   the callback to the about-to-be-destroyed dictionary will resurrect
   it and prevent it from being freed at this time. When the
   resurrected object is destroyed later, any watcher callbacks active
   at that time will be called again.

   Callbacks occur before the notified modification to *dict* takes
   place, so the prior state of *dict* can be inspected.

   If the callback sets an exception, it must return "-1"; this
   exception will be printed as an unraisable exception using
   "PyErr_WriteUnraisable()". Otherwise it should return "0".

   There may already be a pending exception set on entry to the
   callback. In this case, the callback should return "0" with the
   same exception still set. This means the callback may not call any
   other API that can set an exception unless it saves and clears the
   exception state first, and restores it before returning.

    Dodane w wersji 3.12.


Dictionary view objects
=======================

int PyDictViewSet_Check(PyObject *op)

   Return true if *op* is a view of a set inside a dictionary. This is
   currently equivalent to PyDictKeys_Check(op) ||
   PyDictItems_Check(op). This function always succeeds.

   Return true if *op* is an instance of a dictionary keys view. This
   function always succeeds.

PyTypeObject PyDictValues_Type
    * Część stabilnego ABI.*

   Type object for a view of dictionary values. In Python, this is the
   type of the object returned by "dict.values()".

int PyDictValues_Check(PyObject *op)

   Return true if *op* is an instance of a dictionary values view.
   This function always succeeds.

PyTypeObject PyDictItems_Type

   type of the object returned by "dict.items()".

int PyDictItems_Check(PyObject *op)

   Return true if *op* is an instance of a dictionary items view. This
   function always succeeds.


Frozen dictionary objects
=========================

 Dodane w wersji 3.15.

PyTypeObject PyFrozenDict_Type

   This instance of "PyTypeObject" represents the Python frozen
   dictionary type. This is the same object as "frozendict" in the
   Python layer.

int PyAnyDict_Check(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "dict" object, a "frozendict" object, or an
   instance of a subtype of the "dict" or "frozendict" type. This
   function always succeeds.

int PyAnyDict_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

   Return true if *p* is a "dict" object or a "frozendict" object, but
   not an instance of a subtype of the "dict" or "frozendict" type.
   This function always succeeds.

int PyFrozenDict_Check(PyObject *p)

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

int PyFrozenDict_CheckExact(PyObject *p)

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

PyObject *PyFrozenDict_New(PyObject *iterable)

   Return a new "frozendict" from an iterable, or "NULL" on failure
   with an exception set.

   Create an empty dictionary if *iterable* is "NULL".


Ordered dictionaries
====================

Python's C API provides interface for "collections.OrderedDict" from
C. Since Python 3.7, dictionaries are ordered by default, so there is
usually little need for these functions; prefer "PyDict*" where
possible.

PyTypeObject PyODict_Type

   Type object for ordered dictionaries. This is the same object as
   "collections.OrderedDict" in the Python layer.

int PyODict_Check(PyObject *od)

   Return true if *od* is an ordered dictionary object or an instance
   of a subtype of the "OrderedDict" type.  This function always
   succeeds.

int PyODict_CheckExact(PyObject *od)

   Return true if *od* is an ordered dictionary object, but not an
   instance of a subtype of the "OrderedDict" type. This function
   always succeeds.

PyTypeObject PyODictKeys_Type

   Analogous to "PyDictKeys_Type" for ordered dictionaries.

PyTypeObject PyODictValues_Type

   Analogous to "PyDictValues_Type" for ordered dictionaries.

PyTypeObject PyODictItems_Type

   Analogous to "PyDictItems_Type" for ordered dictionaries.

PyObject *PyODict_New(void)

   Return a new empty ordered dictionary, or "NULL" on failure.

   This is analogous to "PyDict_New()".

int PyODict_SetItem(PyObject *od, PyObject *key, PyObject *value)

   Insert *value* into the ordered dictionary *od* with a key of
   *key*. Return "0" on success or "-1" with an exception set on
   failure.

   This is analogous to "PyDict_SetItem()".

int PyODict_DelItem(PyObject *od, PyObject *key)

   Remove the entry in the ordered dictionary *od* with key *key*.
   Return "0" on success or "-1" with an exception set on failure.

   This is analogous to "PyDict_DelItem()".

These are *soft deprecated* aliases to "PyDict" APIs:
