List,
I'm new to the list, (somewhat new to python too). My code feels
hacky. I'd like to know if there is a more eloquent way (more below).
If not, a general thumbs up from more experienced programmers would be
great!
Assume I have a dict, 'foo'. I also have my own class, 'Bar', which
subclasses (i.e. is a derived class) of a dict. How do I eloquently
get foo into an instace of Bar? Example:
### BEGIN CODE:
class Bar(dict):
pass # Act like a dict for now.
foo = {'a': 100, 'b': 200, 'c': 300} # This could be a function return value.
myvar = Bar()
# The hacky feeling part:
for k,v in foo.items(): myvar[k] = v
### END CODE
Obviously I can put the dict into an instance variable, but then
methods like 'keys()' and such won't work. If that makes any sense...
Thanks guys!

You can use the built-in function for dictionaries called update. So
>>> class Bar(dict):
>>> pass
>>> foo = {'a':100, 'b':200, 'c': 300}
>>> myvar = Bar()
>>> myvar.update(foo)
>>> myvar
{'a': 100, 'c': 300, 'b': 200}
