[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #120081] PyDict_Update() missing from C API

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #120081, was updated on 2000-Oct-31 14:18
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Core
Status: Closed
Resolution: Wont Fix
Bug Group: Feature Request
Priority: 4
Summary: PyDict_Update() missing from C API

Details: The C API should include a PyDict_Update() function which takes a dictionary as its first argument, and an arbitrary mapping as its second.  Similarly there should probably be a PyMapping_Update() in the abstract API (and several other dictionary methods in there too).

At Moshe's request, who conferred with Barry apparently, marked closed. A feature request has been added to PEP 42.

Comment:
This wish should not be fulfilled. I think there's no need to add C APIs for every method of dictionary objects! After all the implementation would just have to be to call the method. There are already ways to do that.
