Merging of two dicts is done with dict.update.

No, dict.update merges one dict (or two) into a third one.

No.  I think you need to read the docs.

How do you do it on
initialization?  This doesn't make sense.

dict(d1, **d2)

That's not valid syntax is it?

No.

You can have dict(d1) and dict(**d2), but not dict(d1, **d2).

To (mis-)quote Antoine:

Apparently it is valid syntax.  Just make sure you keys for the ** operator are 
valid strings.  :)
