Dictionary Objects
------------------
.. index:: object: dictionary
.. c:type:: PyDictObject
2008-01-20 05:30:57 -04:00
This subtype of :c:type:`PyObject` represents a Python dictionary object.
2008-01-20 05:30:57 -04:00
.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyDict_Type
2008-01-20 05:30:57 -04:00
This instance of :c:type:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python dictionary
type. This is the same object as :class:`dict` in the Python layer.
2008-01-20 05:30:57 -04:00
.. c:function:: int PyDict_Check(PyObject *p)
2008-01-20 05:30:57 -04:00
Return true if *p* is a dict object or an instance of a subtype of the dict
type.
