Example with Python 3.9: ``` $ docker run --rm --tty --interactive python:3.9 \ python -c 'import sys; d1 = > dict(x=1); d2 = {"y": 2, **d1}; print(sys.version_info, d2)' sys.version_info(major=3, minor=9, micro=2, releaselevel='final', serial=0) {'y': 2, 'x': 1} ``` Example with Python 3.4: ``` $ docker run --rm --tty --interactive python:3.4 \ python -c 'import sys; d1 = > dict(x=1); d2 = {"y": 2, **d1}; print(sys.version_info, d2)' ...
