Antoine Pitrou added the comment: The whole example is bad and should be removed or replace with something else:
1. Using map() is an anti-pattern here, since the function results are not used. 2. To "build a dictionary that maps the ordinals from 0 to 255 to their character equivalents", modern Python code should use a dict comprehension and avoid operator.setitem() entirely. ---------- nosy: +pitrou, rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22180> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
