Constructor Detail

### PyStringMap

    public PyStringMap()

### PyStringMap

    public PyStringMap(int capacity)

### PyStringMap

    public PyStringMap(Map<Object,PyObject> map)

### PyStringMap

    public PyStringMap(PyObject[] elements)

Method Detail

### __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__(String key)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  A variant of the __finditem__ method which accepts a Java `String` 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. Warning: key must be an interned string!!!!!!!!

  Overrides:
    `__finditem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key to lookup in this sequence - must be an interned string .
  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

### __getitem__

    public PyObject __getitem__(String key)

### __getitem__

    public PyObject __getitem__(PyObject key)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  Equivalent to the standard Python __getitem__ method. This method should not be overridden. Override the `__finditem__` method instead.

  Overrides:
    `__getitem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key to lookup in this container.
  Returns:
    the value corresponding to that key.
  See Also:
    `PyObject.__finditem__(PyObject)`

### __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`

### __setitem__

    public void __setitem__(String key,
                            PyObject value)

  Description copied from class: `PyObject`
  A variant of the __setitem__ method which accepts a String as the key. This String must be interned. By default, this will call `__setitem__(PyObject key, PyObject value)` with the appropriate args. The only reason to override this method is for performance.

  Overrides:
    `__setitem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key whose value will be set - must be an interned string .
    `value` - the value to set this key to
  See Also:
    `PyObject.__setitem__(PyObject, PyObject)`

### __setitem__

    public void __setitem__(PyObject key,
                            PyObject value)

    `key` - the key whose value will be set
    `value` - the value to set this key to

### __delitem__

    public void __delitem__(String key)

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

  Overrides:
    `__delitem__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key who will be removed - must be an interned string .
  See Also:
    `PyObject.__delitem__(PyObject)`
