[issue31982] 8.3. collections — Container datatypes

2017-11-08 Thread Sasha Kacanski

New submission from Sasha Kacanski :

Hi,
In ChainMap example
c = ChainMap()# Create root context
d = c.new_child() # Create nested child context
e = c.new_child() # Child of c, independent from d
e.maps[0] # Current context dictionary -- like Python's locals()
e.maps[-1]# Root context -- like Python's globals()
e.parents # Enclosing context chain -- like Python's nonlocals

d['x']# Get first key in the chain of contexts
d['x'] = 1# Set value in current context

d['x'] - will raise key does not exist error 

so simple fix is to flip last two lines...

I know, possibly anal but look love Python and would like to help new folks to 
not get confused if they play with example in cPython shell...

Agree, and I know.
