I'm pretty sure the answer to this is No, but I thought I'd ask just in case...
Is there a fast way to see that a dict has been modified? I don't care what the modifications are, I just want to know if it has been changed, where "changed" means a key has been added, or deleted, or a value has been set. (Modifications to mutable values aren't important.) In other words, any of these methods count as modifying the dict: __setitem__ __delitem__ clear pop popitem setdefault update Of course I can subclass dict to do this, but if there's an existing way, that would be better. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
