Nick Coghlan <[email protected]> added the comment:
The current discrepancy is odd when you compare it to the equivalent generator
expression:
{k:v for k, v in iterable}
dict(((k, v) for k, v in iterable))
It would never have occurred to me to expect the evaluation order to match a
fully unrolled loop with a nested "d[k] = v" assignment, because the dict
constructor doesn't work that way - it accepts an iterable of 2-tuples.
PEP 274 also specifies the iterable-of-2-tuples interpretation (using a list
comprehension as its baseline rather than a generator expression):
