Yes, I just thought it would be convenient to have in the language
itself, but the responses to my post seem to indicate that [not
returning the updated object] is an intended language feature for
mutable types like dict or list.

It would be convenient if replacing items in a dictionary returns the
new dictionary, in a manner analogous to str.replace(). What do you
think?

# Current behavior
x = {'key1': 1}
x.update(key1=3) == None
x == {'key1': 3} # Original variable has changed
# Possible behavior

While debugging a network algorithm in Python 2.6.2, I encountered
some strange behavior and was wondering whether it has to do with some
sort of code optimization that Python does behind the scenes.
After initialization: defaultdict(, {1: set([1])})
Popping and updating in two steps
I know that Python has iterator methods called "sorted" and "reversed" and
these are handy shortcuts.
Why not add a new iterator method called "shuffled"?

Currently, a person has to do the following because random.sh
