This is likely an implementation artifact. In the abstract API, both PyObject_DelItem() and PyObject_SetItem() route through the same slot, m->mp_ass_subscript. The set and delete operations are only differentiated in the downstream concrete APIs. When the *value* parameter is NULL, the operation is deemed to be a deletion. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31218> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
