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


Ordered Dictionaries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Python's C API provides interface for :class:`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.


.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyODict_Type

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


.. c:function:: int PyODict_Check(PyObject *od)

Return true if *od* is an ordered dictionary object or an instance of a
subtype of the :class:`~collections.OrderedDict` type. This function
always succeeds.


.. c:function:: int PyODict_CheckExact(PyObject *od)

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


.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyODictKeys_Type

Analogous to :c:type:`PyDictKeys_Type` for ordered dictionaries.


.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyODictValues_Type

Analogous to :c:type:`PyDictValues_Type` for ordered dictionaries.


.. c:var:: PyTypeObject PyODictItems_Type

Analogous to :c:type:`PyDictItems_Type` for ordered dictionaries.


.. c:function:: PyObject *PyODict_New(void)

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

This is analogous to :c:func:`PyDict_New`.


.. c:function:: 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 :c:func:`PyDict_SetItem`.


.. c:function:: 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 :c:func:`PyDict_DelItem`.


These are :term:`soft deprecated` aliases to ``PyDict`` APIs:


.. list-table::
:widths: auto
:header-rows: 1

* * ``PyODict``
* ``PyDict``
* * .. c:macro:: PyODict_GetItem(od, key)
* :c:func:`PyDict_GetItem`
* * .. c:macro:: PyODict_GetItemWithError(od, key)
* :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemWithError`
* * .. c:macro:: PyODict_GetItemString(od, key)
* :c:func:`PyDict_GetItemString`
* * .. c:macro:: PyODict_Contains(od, key)
* :c:func:`PyDict_Contains`
* * .. c:macro:: PyODict_Size(od)
* :c:func:`PyDict_Size`
* * .. c:macro:: PyODict_SIZE(od)
* :c:func:`PyDict_GET_SIZE`
