Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:
.get() is just a regular function call. And like all python functions, all of the arguments are evaluated before the function is called. There is no mechanism in python to delay the evaluation of a arguments. You might want to look at collections.defaultdict. You can supply a factory function, so that the call is delayed until a missing key is found. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
