Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
I agree with the OP's request. d.pop(k) is conceptually equivalent to: r = d[k] # raises KeyError(k) del d[k] return r The current message was probably borrowed from dict.popitem(). But that is much different since the dict.pop(k) method is key-specific (instead of size related). This fix should be backported (as it doesn't change guaranteed behaviors but does improve the debugability). ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10221> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
