+Tuple Objects
+-------------
+
+.. index:: object: tuple
+
+
+.. ctype:: PyTupleObject
+
+   This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents a Python tuple object.
+
+
+.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PyTuple_Type
+
+   .. index:: single: TupleType (in module types)
+
+   This instance of :ctype:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python tuple type; it is
+   the same object as ``tuple`` and ``types.TupleType`` in the Python layer..
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_Check(PyObject *p)
+
+   Return true if *p* is a tuple object or an instance of a subtype of the tuple
+   type.
+
+   .. versionchanged:: 2.2
+      Allowed subtypes to be accepted.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
+
+   Return true if *p* is a tuple object, but not an instance of a subtype of the
+   tuple type.
+
+   .. versionadded:: 2.2
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_New(Py_ssize_t len)
+
+   Return a new tuple object of size *len*, or *NULL* on failure.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_Pack(Py_ssize_t n, ...)
+
+   Return a new tuple object of size *n*, or *NULL* on failure. The tuple values
+   are initialized to the subsequent *n* C arguments pointing to Python objects.
+   ``PyTuple_Pack(2, a, b)`` is equivalent to ``Py_BuildValue("(OO)", a, b)``.
+
+   .. versionadded:: 2.4
+
+
+.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyTuple_Size(PyObject *p)
+
+   Take a pointer to a tuple object, and return the size of that tuple.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyTuple_GET_SIZE(PyObject *p)
+
+   Return the size of the tuple *p*, which must be non-*NULL* and point to a tuple;
+   no error checking is performed.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_GetItem(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos)
+
+   Return the object at position *pos* in the tuple pointed to by *p*.  If *pos* is
+   out of bounds, return *NULL* and sets an :exc:`IndexError` exception.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_GET_ITEM(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos)
+
+   Like :cfunc:`PyTuple_GetItem`, but does no checking of its arguments.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_GetSlice(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t low, Py_ssize_t high)
+
+   Take a slice of the tuple pointed to by *p* from *low* to *high* and return it
+   as a new tuple.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_SetItem(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos, PyObject *o)
+
+   Insert a reference to object *o* at position *pos* of the tuple pointed to by
+   *p*. Return ``0`` on success.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This function "steals" a reference to *o*.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: void PyTuple_SET_ITEM(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos, PyObject *o)
+
+   Like :cfunc:`PyTuple_SetItem`, but does no error checking, and should *only* be
+   used to fill in brand new tuples.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This function "steals" a reference to *o*.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int _PyTuple_Resize(PyObject **p, Py_ssize_t newsize)
+
+   Can be used to resize a tuple.  *newsize* will be the new length of the tuple.
+   Because tuples are *supposed* to be immutable, this should only be used if there
+   is only one reference to the object.  Do *not* use this if the tuple may already
+   be known to some other part of the code.  The tuple will always grow or shrink
+   at the end.  Think of this as destroying the old tuple and creating a new one,
+   only more efficiently.  Returns ``0`` on success. Client code should never
+   assume that the resulting value of ``*p`` will be the same as before calling
+   this function. If the object referenced by ``*p`` is replaced, the original
+   ``*p`` is destroyed.  On failure, returns ``-1`` and sets ``*p`` to *NULL*, and
+   raises :exc:`MemoryError` or :exc:`SystemError`.
+
+   .. versionchanged:: 2.2
+      Removed unused third parameter, *last_is_sticky*.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_ClearFreeList(void)
+
+   Clear the free list. Return the total number of freed items.
+
+   .. versionadded:: 2.6
