Re: Using inner dict as class interface

2013-01-16 Thread Matt Jones
Explicit is better than implicit. Define the dunder methods so you know exactly what your class is doing when being indexed. You only need __getitem__ and __setitem__ really, but if you want to treat it just like a dict you'll need __delitem__, __len__, __iter__, __contains__ as well.
