The code just calls into the same code as dict.update(dict) (although .update can also work on a sequence of twouples). dict.update's doc string is explicit about what it requires from the argument: | update(...) | D.update(E, **F) -> None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F. | If E has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] | If E 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] ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10357> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
