Well at least I find them missing. For the moment I frequently come across the following cases.
1) Two files, each with key-value pairs for the same dictionary. However it is an error if the second file contains a key that was not in the first file. In treating the second file I miss a 'set' method. dct.set(key, value) would be equivallent to dct[key] = value, except that it would raise a KeyError if the key wasn't already in the dictionary. 2) One file with key-value pairs. However it is an error if a key is duplicated in the file. In treating such files I miss a 'make' method. dct.make(key, value) would be equivallent to dct[key] = value. except that it would raise a KeyError if the key was already in the dictionary. What do other people think about this? -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
