New submission from Mitchell Model <m...@acm.org>:
The documentation of dict.update says that it "accepts either another
dictionary object or an iterable of key/value pairs (as a tuple or other
iterable of length two)" The parenthesized phrase is slightly misleading in
that it could be interpreted as requiring the argument to be an iterable of
length two, whereas the argument should be an iterable of iterables of length 2
(if not a dictionary). Suggest rewriting in the plural:
(as tuples or other iterables of length two)
