prior to the first call to this function to start the iteration; the
function returns true for each pair in the dictionary, and false once all
pairs have been reported.  The parameters <em>pkey</em> and <em>pvalue</em> should either
point to <a class="reference internal" href="structures.html#PyObject" title="PyObject"><tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyObject*</span></tt></a> variables that will be filled in with each key

them are borrowed.  <em>ppos</em> should not be altered during iteration. Its
value represents offsets within the internal dictionary structure, and
since the structure is sparse, the offsets are not consecutive.</p>

<p>The dictionary <em>p</em> should not be mutated during iteration.  It is safe
(since Python 2.1) to modify the values of the keys as you iterate over the
dictionary, but only so long as the set of keys does not change.  For
example:</p>
