That's sounds good MRAB! After you mentioned this i had an epiphany... why not just add an extra argument to dict.update?dict.update(D, clobberexistingkeys=False)
This is AFAICS inconsistent to the possibility to do dict.update(a, k1=v1, k2=v2).
Then you cannot set the key clobberexistingvalues to False via the update method any longer...
