Raymond Hettinger added the comment:
This from the help on dict.update():
| update(...)
| D.update([E, ]**F) -> None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.
| If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k]
| If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k]
= v
| In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]
Likewise in the source for collections.abc.MutableMapping:
def update(*args, **kwds):
''' D.update([E, ]**F) -> None. Update D from mapping/iterable E and F.
If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] =
E[k]
If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E:
D[k] = v
In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v
'''
if not args:
raise TypeError("descriptor 'update' of 'MutableMapping' object "
"needs an argument")
self, *args = args
if len(args) > 1:
raise TypeError('update expected at most 1 arguments, got %d' %
len(args))
if args:
other = args[0]
if isinstance(other, Mapping):
for key in other:
self[key] = other[key]
elif hasattr(other, "keys"):
for key in other.keys():
self[key] = other[key]
else:
for key, value in other:
self[key] = value
for key, value in kwds.items():
self[key] = value
