Currently: l = [] # new empty list t = () # new empty tuple s = set() # new empty set (no clean and consistent way of initializing regarding the others) <<< d = {} # new empty dictionary
Possible solution: s = {} # new empty set d = {:} # new empty dictionary (the ":" is a reference to key-value pairs) Current workaround at least for consistency: l = list() # new empty list t = tuple() # new empty tuple s = set() # new empty set d = dict() # new empty dictionary However, it doesn't feel right to not be able to initialize an empty set as cleanly and consistently as lists, tuples and dictionaries in both forms. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/3VPVY2BUHAULUBBQD3UKUIOPQXUZOLLP/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
