<pre><code>IronPython 2.7.3 (2.7.0.40) on .NET 4.0.30319.18052 (32-bit)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> d = {}
>>> d.update(a=1)
>>> d.update(a=2, c=3)
>>> d.update({}, a=3)
>>> d
{'c': 3, 'a': 3}
>>> d.update(b=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Multiple targets could match: update(object), update(object, dict), u
pdate(dict)
>>> d.update(a=1, b=2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: expected dict, got int
>>> d.update({}, b=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: update() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)</code></pre>
Otherwise using <code>b</code> as a key isn't an issue:<br />
<pre><code>>>> d = dict(b=1)
>>> d.update({'b': 2})
>>> d
{'b': 2}</code></pre>
