Sequence Protocol¶

int PySequence_Check(PyObject *o)¶

Return 1 if the object provides sequence protocol, and 0 otherwise. This function always succeeds.

Py_ssize_t PySequence_Size(PyObject *o)¶

Returns the number of objects in sequence o on success, and -1 on failure. For objects that do not provide sequence protocol, this is equivalent to the Python expression len(o).

Py_ssize_t PySequence_Length(PyObject *o)¶

Alternate name for PySequence_Size.

PyObject* PySequence_Concat(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the concatenation of o1 and o2 on success, and NULL on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o1 + o2.

PyObject* PySequence_Repeat(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t count)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the result of repeating sequence object o count times, or NULL on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o * count.

PyObject* PySequence_InPlaceConcat(PyObject *o1, PyObject *o2)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the concatenation of o1 and o2 on success, and NULL on failure. The operation is done in-place when o1 supports it. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o1 += o2.

PyObject* PySequence_InPlaceRepeat(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t count)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the result of repeating sequence object o count times, or NULL on failure. The operation is done in-place when o supports it. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o *= count.

PyObject* PySequence_GetItem(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the i*th element of *o, or NULL on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o[i].

PyObject* PySequence_GetSlice(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i1, Py_ssize_t i2)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the slice of sequence object o between i1 and i2, or NULL on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python expression o[i1:i2].

int PySequence_SetItem(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i, PyObject *v)¶

Assign object v to the i*th element of *o. Returns -1 on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python statement o[i] = v. This function does not steal a reference to v.

int PySequence_DelItem(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)¶

Delete the i*th element of object *o. Returns -1 on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python statement del o[i].

int PySequence_SetSlice(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i1, Py_ssize_t i2, PyObject *v)¶

Assign the sequence object v to the slice in sequence object o from i1 to i2. This is the equivalent of the Python statement o[i1:i2] = v.

int PySequence_DelSlice(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i1, Py_ssize_t i2)¶

Delete the slice in sequence object o from i1 to i2. Returns -1 on failure. This is the equivalent of the Python statement del o[i1:i2].

Py_ssize_t PySequence_Count(PyObject *o, PyObject *value)¶

Return the number of occurrences of value in o, that is, return the number of keys for which o[key] == value. On failure, return -1. This is equivalent to the Python expression o.count(value).

int PySequence_Contains(PyObject *o, PyObject *value)¶

Determine if o contains value. If an item in o is equal to value, return 1, otherwise return 0. On error, return -1. This is equivalent to the Python expression value in o.

Py_ssize_t PySequence_Index(PyObject *o, PyObject *value)¶

Return the first index i for which o[i] == value. On error, return -1. This is equivalent to the Python expression o.index(value).

PyObject* PySequence_List(PyObject *o)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return a list object with the same contents as the arbitrary sequence o. The returned list is guaranteed to be new.

PyObject* PySequence_Tuple(PyObject *o)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return a tuple object with the same contents as the arbitrary sequence o or NULL on failure. If o is a tuple, a new reference will be returned, otherwise a tuple will be constructed with the appropriate contents. This is equivalent to the Python expression tuple(o).

PyObject* PySequence_Fast(PyObject *o, const char *m)¶

Return value: New reference.

Returns the sequence o as a tuple, unless it is already a tuple or list, in which case o is returned. Use PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM to access the members of the result. Returns NULL on failure. If the object is not a sequence, raises TypeError with m as the message text.

PyObject* PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)¶

Return value: Borrowed reference.

Return the i*th element of *o, assuming that o was returned by PySequence_Fast, o is not NULL, and that i is within bounds.

PyObject** PySequence_Fast_ITEMS(PyObject *o)¶

Return the underlying array of PyObject pointers. Assumes that o was returned by PySequence_Fast and o is not NULL.

Note, if a list gets resized, the reallocation may relocate the items array. So, only use the underlying array pointer in contexts where the sequence cannot change.

PyObject* PySequence_ITEM(PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)¶

Return value: New reference.

Return the i*th element of *o or NULL on failure. Macro form of PySequence_GetItem but without checking that PySequence_Check(o) is true and without adjustment for negative indices.

Py_ssize_t PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE(PyObject *o)¶

Returns the length of o, assuming that o was returned by PySequence_Fast and that o is not NULL. The size can also be gotten by calling PySequence_Size on o, but PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE is faster because it can assume o is a list or tuple.
