According to the docs (https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/object.html) the `PyObject_GetIter` method should be equivalent to the python call `iter(<some_dict>)`, but, when given a dict, the `PyObject_GetIter` returns an iterator over key-value pairs whereas the `iter()` method returns an iterator over keys only.
I tripped over this when giving the `<some_dict>.update()` a dict-like object that does not inherit from the builtin dict and implements its own `__iter__()`.
The `update()` method eventually reaches the following piece of code:
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/4243df51fe43/Objects/dictobject.c#l2383
> it = PyObject_GetIter(seq2);
> ...
> item = PyIter_Next(it);
> ...
> fast = PySequence_Fast(item, "");
> ...
> key = PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM(fast, 0);
> value = PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM(fast, 1);
displaying the difference in behaviour between `PyObject_GetIter` and `iter(o)`. |
