Unicode key for Python dictionary in Python C API

Question

I am using Python C API to connect to my python v2.7.2

As the title suggests, I am looking to use unicode string as key in my dictionary. I am aware that we can use unicode string as key in python dictionary. But how is that possible through Python C API.

int PyDict_SetItemString(PyObject *p, const char *key, PyObject *val)

we have the above for using the ascii values. Is there any way for it?

Thanks in advance.

Use

int PyDict_SetItem(PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject *val)

and pass in a:

PyObject *PyUnicode_FromString(const char *u)

as the key

So when i use `PyObject* PyDict_GetItem(PyObject *p, PyObject *key)` it will retrieve the same key as added above? – D3XT3R Jan 08 '15 at 10:37
