In python, dictionaries have a get method that will return None if you call it on a dictionary key that doesn't exist. get() can also take an optional default parameter that returns it's value if the key doesn't exist.
If you use the indexing method, i.e. [], it invokes the dictionaries __getitem__ method, which can throw a KeyError exception if the key doesn't exist. --Sent from my iPhone On Mar 23, 2010, at 11:14 PM, Daniel <unagimiy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Are these statements equivalent?
