+Mapping Protocol
+================
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyMapping_Check(PyObject *o)
+
+   Return ``1`` if the object provides mapping protocol, and ``0`` otherwise.  This
+   function always succeeds.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyMapping_Length(PyObject *o)
+
+   .. index:: builtin: len
+
+   Returns the number of keys in object *o* on success, and ``-1`` on failure.  For
+   objects that do not provide mapping protocol, this is equivalent to the Python
+   expression ``len(o)``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyMapping_DelItemString(PyObject *o, char *key)
+
+   Remove the mapping for object *key* from the object *o*. Return ``-1`` on
+   failure.  This is equivalent to the Python statement ``del o[key]``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyMapping_DelItem(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
+
+   Remove the mapping for object *key* from the object *o*. Return ``-1`` on
+   failure.  This is equivalent to the Python statement ``del o[key]``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyMapping_HasKeyString(PyObject *o, char *key)
+
+   On success, return ``1`` if the mapping object has the key *key* and ``0``
+   otherwise.  This is equivalent to ``o[key]``, returning ``True`` on success
+   and ``False`` on an exception.  This function always succeeds.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyMapping_HasKey(PyObject *o, PyObject *key)
+
+   Return ``1`` if the mapping object has the key *key* and ``0`` otherwise.
+   This is equivalent to ``o[key]``, returning ``True`` on success and ``False``
+   on an exception.  This function always succeeds.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyMapping_Keys(PyObject *o)
+
+   On success, return a list of the keys in object *o*.  On failure, return *NULL*.
+   This is equivalent to the Python expression ``o.keys()``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyMapping_Values(PyObject *o)
+
+   On success, return a list of the values in object *o*.  On failure, return
+   *NULL*. This is equivalent to the Python expression ``o.values()``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyMapping_Items(PyObject *o)
+
+   On success, return a list of the items in object *o*, where each item is a tuple
+   containing a key-value pair.  On failure, return *NULL*. This is equivalent to
+   the Python expression ``o.items()``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyMapping_GetItemString(PyObject *o, char *key)
+
+   Return element of *o* corresponding to the object *key* or *NULL* on failure.
+   This is the equivalent of the Python expression ``o[key]``.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyMapping_SetItemString(PyObject *o, char *key, PyObject *v)
+
+   Map the object *key* to the value *v* in object *o*. Returns ``-1`` on failure.
+   This is the equivalent of the Python statement ``o[key] = v``.
