  Create a new dictionary with the element as content.

  Parameters:
    `elements` - The initial elements that is inserted in the dictionary. Even numbered elements are keys, odd numbered elements are values.

Method Detail

### getMap

    public ConcurrentMap<PyObject,PyObject> getMap()

### fromkeys

    public static PyObject fromkeys(PyObject keys)

### fromkeys

    public static PyObject fromkeys(PyObject keys,
                                    PyObject value)

### __len__

    public int __len__()

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __len__ method. Part of the mapping discipline.

  Overrides:
    `__len__` in class `PyObject`
  Returns:
    the length of the object

### __nonzero__

    public boolean __nonzero__()

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __nonzero__ method. Returns whether of not a given `PyObject` is considered true.

  Overrides:
    `__nonzero__` in class `PyObject`

### __finditem__

    public PyObject __finditem__(int index)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  A variant of the __finditem__ method which accepts a primitive `int` as the key. By default, this method will call `__finditem__(PyObject key)` with the appropriate args. The only reason to override this method is for performance.

  Overrides:
    `__finditem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `index` - the key to lookup in this sequence.
  Returns:
    the value corresponding to key or null if key is not found.
  See Also:
    `PyObject.__finditem__(PyObject)`

### __finditem__

    public PyObject __finditem__(PyObject key)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Very similar to the standard Python __getitem__ method. Instead of throwing a KeyError if the item isn't found, this just returns null. Classes that wish to implement __getitem__ should override this method instead (with the appropriate semantics.

  Overrides:
    `__finditem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key to lookup in this container
  Returns:
    the value corresponding to key or null if key is not found

### __setitem__

    public void __setitem__(PyObject key,
                            PyObject value)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __setitem__ method.

  Overrides:
    `__setitem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key whose value will be set
    `value` - the value to set this key to

### __delitem__

    public void __delitem__(PyObject key)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __delitem__ method.

  Overrides:
    `__delitem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key to be removed from the container

### __iter__

    public PyObject __iter__()

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Return an iterator that is used to iterate the element of this sequence. From version 2.2, this method is the primary protocol for looping over sequences.

  If a PyObject subclass should support iteration based in the __finditem__() method, it must supply an implementation of __iter__() like this:

       public PyObject __iter__() {
           return new PySequenceIter(this);
       }

  When iterating over a python sequence from java code, it should be done with code like this:

       for (PyObject item : seq.asIterable()) {
           // Do somting with item
       }

  Overrides:
    `__iter__` in class `PyObject`

### toString

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `PyObject`

### __eq__

  Equivalent to the standard Python __eq__ method.

    `__eq__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `otherObj` - the object to compare this with.
  Returns:
    the result of the comparison.

### __ne__

    public PyObject __ne__(PyObject otherObj)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __ne__ method.

  Overrides:
    `__ne__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `otherObj` - the object to compare this with.
  Returns:
    the result of the comparison.

### __cmp__

    public int __cmp__(PyObject otherObj)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __cmp__ method.

  Overrides:
    `__cmp__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `otherObj` - the object to compare this with.
  Returns:
    -1 if this < o; 0 if this == o; +1 if this > o; -2 if no comparison is implemented
