+Tuple Objects
+-------------
+
+.. index:: object: tuple
+
+
+.. ctype:: PyTupleObject
+
+ This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents a Python tuple object.
+
+
+.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PyTuple_Type
+
+ .. index:: single: TupleType (in module types)
+
+ This instance of :ctype:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python tuple type; it is
+ the same object as ``tuple`` and ``types.TupleType`` in the Python layer..
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_Check(PyObject *p)
+
+ Return true if *p* is a tuple object or an instance of a subtype of the tuple
+ type.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 2.2
+ Allowed subtypes to be accepted.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
+
+ Return true if *p* is a tuple object, but not an instance of a subtype of the
+ tuple type.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.2
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_New(Py_ssize_t len)
+
+ Return a new tuple object of size *len*, or *NULL* on failure.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_Pack(Py_ssize_t n, ...)
+
+ Return a new tuple object of size *n*, or *NULL* on failure. The tuple values
+ are initialized to the subsequent *n* C arguments pointing to Python objects.
+ ``PyTuple_Pack(2, a, b)`` is equivalent to ``Py_BuildValue("(OO)", a, b)``.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 2.4
+
+
+.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyTuple_Size(PyObject *p)
+
+ Take a pointer to a tuple object, and return the size of that tuple.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: Py_ssize_t PyTuple_GET_SIZE(PyObject *p)
+
+ Return the size of the tuple *p*, which must be non-*NULL* and point to a tuple;
+ no error checking is performed.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_GetItem(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos)
+
+ Return the object at position *pos* in the tuple pointed to by *p*. If *pos* is
+ out of bounds, return *NULL* and sets an :exc:`IndexError` exception.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_GET_ITEM(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos)
+
+ Like :cfunc:`PyTuple_GetItem`, but does no checking of its arguments.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyTuple_GetSlice(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t low, Py_ssize_t high)
+
+ Take a slice of the tuple pointed to by *p* from *low* to *high* and return it
+ as a new tuple.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int PyTuple_SetItem(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos, PyObject *o)
+
+ Insert a reference to object *o* at position *pos* of the tuple pointed to by
+ *p*. Return ``0`` on success.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ This function "steals" a reference to *o*.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: void PyTuple_SET_ITEM(PyObject *p, Py_ssize_t pos, PyObject *o)
+
+ Like :cfunc:`PyTuple_SetItem`, but does no error checking, and should *only* be
+ used to fill in brand new tuples.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ This function "steals" a reference to *o*.
+
+
+.. cfunction:: int _PyTuple_Resize(PyObject **p, Py_ssize_t newsize)
+
+ Can be used to resize a tuple. *newsize* will be the new length of the tuple.
+ Because tuples are *supposed* to be immutable, this should only be used if there
+ is only one reference to the object. Do *not* use this if the tuple may already
+ be known to some other part of the code. The tuple will always grow or shrink
+ at the end. Think of this as destroying the old tuple and creating a new one,
+ only more efficiently. Returns ``0`` on success. Client code should never
+ assume that the resulting value of ``*p`` will be the same as before calling
+ this function. If the object referenced by ``*p`` is replaced, the original
+ ``*p`` is destroyed. On failure, returns ``-1`` and sets ``*p`` to *NULL*, and
+ raises :exc:`MemoryError` or :exc:`SystemError`.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 2.2
+ Removed unused third parameter, *last_is_sticky*.
