Working with Python types

Alloconda wraps common Python container types so you can stay in Zig without reaching for the raw C API.

Available wrappers include:

  • py.Object for owned and borrowed objects.
  • py.Bytes for byte strings.
  • py.List, py.Dict, and py.Tuple for containers.
  • py.DictIter / py.DictEntry for iterating dictionaries.

Use these wrappers to construct values, inspect contents, and manage ownership. If you need lower-level access, py.ffi.c exposes the CPython API.
