I didn't know about PyObject_VAR_HEAD much. The comment of the macro says: /* PyObject_VAR_HEAD defines the initial segment of all variable-size * container objects. These end with a declaration of an array with 1 * element, but enough space is malloc'ed so that the array actually * has room for ob_size elements. Note that ob_size is an element count, * not necessarily a byte count. */ dict doesn't end with array. Does Py_SIZE() support recommended, like Python's len()?
