-\begin{cfuncdesc}{PyObject*}{PyMapping_SetItemString}{PyObject *o, char *key, PyObject *v}
+\begin{cfuncdesc}{int}{PyMapping_SetItemString}{PyObject *o, char *key, PyObject *v}
 Map the object \var{key} to the value \var{v} in object \var{o}.
 Returns \code{-1} on failure.  This is the equivalent of the Python
 statement \samp{\var{o}[\var{key}] = \var{v}}.
