Hi all, I was googling a way to do something like mydict=mydict.extend(additionaldict)
and someone on a forum recommends this: mydict=dict(mydict, **additionaldict) What is the ** doing here? I tried to look it up, but Google seems to ignore it since it is punctuation. The poster on the forum says it will put all elements of additionaldict in mydict that are not already in mydict, which is the behavior I am looking for, but I am not sure why this would be so. TIA. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehg...@gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
