Stefan Behnel added the comment: Please use either of the following wordings in the documentation:
""" If the key is not in the dict, it is inserted with value *defaultobj* and *defaultobj* is returned. """ or """ If the key is not in the dict, it is inserted with value *defaultobj*, which is then returned. """ Otherwise, the docs leave it open if anything at all is returned in the case of a lookup failure. (I initially wanted to make that clear with the PyDict_GetItem*() name, but since that was rejected, it's worth making up for in the docs.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
