New submission from Dan Snider <mr.assume.a...@gmail.com>:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict.popitem `dict.popitem` no longer returns an "arbitrary" (key, value) pair as the documentation suggests. Rather, it always returns the pair whose key was most recently *inserted* (ie., the last entry in `dk_entries`). Perhaps the docs could reflect that this method is now always LIFO rather arbitrary now that insertion order is guaranteed? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 321708 nosy: bup, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ambiguous documentation for dict.popitem versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34123> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
