Stefan Behnel added the comment: I had originally considered that name. However, what it really does is PyDict_GetItem(). In a specific special case, it sets a default value and *then* returns that. So it's still PyDict_GetItem(), just with a preceding modification. Also, the interface mimics PyDict_GetItem(). Its primary interface is a getter, not a setter.
I really think that PyDict_SetDefault() is an inappropriate name. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
