A common python optimization is to replace:
if key in dict:
dict[key]
with
try:
dict[key]
except KeyError:
pass
The reasoning is that the try/except method is faster if no exception
is thrown, i.e. you expect the key to be in the dict most of the time.
It's always irritated me that Python dictionaries don't have the
equivalent of TryGetValue.
Like the 'get' method?
