Hi Aahz, The problem with using the builtin set operations is, that the dictionary keys don't represent a set, so you can't directly create a new dictionary using set methods.
So I'm looking for what's a concise way to update a dictionary, or create a new dictionary, using basically an intersection method. (I'm using Python 2.4.1 so I do have convenient builtin set operations available) In my taste, using generator expressions with conditions actually doesn't look very readable; it hides the set-membership test under the syntactic clutter. (I don't mind generator expressions in principle, but I do feel that here they clutter up the intent of the code) cheers, --Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
