I certainly wouldn't be able to guess what they should be defined to do, since there are several equally obnoxious possibilities. For instance, take union for example. What should be the result when you union two dicts that have the same key but different values for that key? -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
