Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: It's certainly intentional behaviour: all the defaultdict does is provide a __missing__ method. And as explained in
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict "No other operations or methods invoke __missing__()." So it looks to me as though this issue should be either a doc issue, or a feature request for 3.3. Reclassifying as a doc issue. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Extension Modules, Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python, mark.dickinson versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13887> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
