I'm wondering if there is something similar to list comprehension for dict (please see the example code below).
d = dict(one=1, two=2) print d def fun(d):#Is there a way similar to list comprehension to change the argument d so that d is changed? d=dict(three=3) fun(d) print d def fun1(d): d['one']=-1 fun1(d) print d L = [1, 2] print L def fun2(L):#this doesn't have any effect on the argument L L=[] fun2(L) print L#[1, 2] def fun3(L):# argument L is changed L[:]=[1, 2, 3] fun3(L) print L#[1, 2, 3] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
