dictionary inherit and method overriding

[fdb]

Hi all,

I need to extend and not replace the __getitem__ method of a dict class.

Here is sample the code:

>>> class myDict(dict):
... def __getitem__(self, y):
... print("Doing something")
... dict.__getitem__(self, y)
...
>>> a=myDict()
>>> a["value"] = 1
>>> print a["value"]
None

As you see i get None instead of  1.

Any solutions?

Bye

Only this! I'm going crazy!

Than you!

Code:


class myDict(dict):
def __getitem__(self, y):
print("Doing something")
return dict.__getitem__(self, y)

a=myDict()
a["value"] = 1
print a["value"]
