'|' is the set union operation, roughly equivalent to the set.union
method. Dicts don't have a union operation. If they did, and the same
key were found in both sets, what would be the value of that key in
the union?

The dict.items() view is explicitly set-like and can be unioned, so
you can do this:
py> dict(d1.items() | d2.items())
Excellent explanation, and excellent solution!
Thanks very much.
