Well, I write Java, C++ and Python code, and I have posted a few
thoughts about this on my blog :

If your friend is proficient in C/C++ then learning Python should not
be a pain. Quite the contrary, it should be an enlightnement. Being
good in C/C++ AND Python is a killer combination, as you can promptly
and efficiently code big chunks of your application in Python and
interface with C/C++ code
Here's method 3 :
# Python 2.3 (no generator expression)
a.update([(k,v) for k,v in b.iteritems() if k not in a])
# Python 2.4 (with generator expression)
a.update((k,v) for k,v in b.iteritems() if k not in a)
It's a bit cleaner but still less efficient than using what's already
in the PyDict_Me
Hi,
I've posted this patch on Source forge :

If you want to update a dictionary with another one, you can simply use
update :
a = dict(a=1,c=3)
b = dict(a=0,b=2)
a.update(b)
assert a == dict(a=0,b=2,c=3)
anglo-saxon way) which may not be the right way (hence
the examples given before for Gaellic surnames). But these ones are far
"better" than soundex.
