So the choice is really only three way.
1) Add d1 + d2 and d1 += d2 (using similarity with list + and +=) 2) Add d1 | d2 and d1 |= d2 (similar to set | and |=) 3) Do nothing

One of the things I really enjoy about Python is its consistency: - dicts and sets are both hash tables - dicts and sets both disallow duplicates - dicts and sets both use .update() Adding '|' to dict to be consistent with '|' on sets seems a reasonable, and not a foolish, consistency. +1 on '|' and '|=' -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/STVULVJ4V46UCY7Z3Q75TGQA5ILYDUCI/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
