You can just do:

aa[key] = value.

If the key exist then it's updated, if it doesn't then it's added.

The reason for the update function is simply in cases where you want to use the oldvalue etc. perhaps it has a timestamp that you need to keep etc.

But in general you shouldn't need it.

I meant a different thing though. I am looking for `mydic.update(another_dic)` analogue where `{"a": 1, "b": 2}` update `{"c": 3, "a": -1}` becomes `{"a":-1, "b": 2, "c": 3}`.
