easier to read the conditional version, even if it is longer.

This is a lot slower in percentage terms. You
Hi all,
I've always done key creation/incrementation using:
if key in dict:
dict[key] += 1
else:
dict[key] = 1
Today I spotted an alternative:
dict[key] = dict.get(key, 0) + 1
Whilst certainly more compact, I'd be interested in views on how
pythonesque this method is.

How about:-
print "%s was captured by %s" % (solo, jabba)
