Sequence Protocol ----------------- Support for the sequence protocol is achieved adding functions with special names, this is done using the add-function tag. The special function names are: ============= =============================================== ==================== =================== Function name Parameters Return type CPython equivalent ============= =============================================== ==================== =================== __len__ PyObject* self Py_ssize_t PySequence_Size __getitem__ PyObject* self, Py_ssize_t _i PyObject* PySequence_GetItem __setitem__ PyObject* self, Py_ssize_t _i, PyObject* _value int PySequence_SetItem __contains__ PyObject* self, PyObject* _value int PySequence_Contains __concat__ PyObject* self, PyObject* _other PyObject* PySequence_Concat ============= =============================================== ==================== =================== You just need to inform the function name to the add-function tag, without any parameter or return type information, when you do it, |project| will create a C function with parameters and return type defined by the table above. The function needs to follow the same semantics of the *CPython equivalent* function, the only way to do it is using the :doc:`inject-code ` tag. A concrete example how to add sequence protocol support to a class can be found on shiboken tests, more precisely in the definition of the Str class in ``tests/samplebinding/typesystem_sample.xml``.
