Yes, thank you. I was forgetting that this is ordinary function syntax, with assignment (dict being the function). I was trying to do it with curly braces. Kirby On 8/15/06, John Zelle <john.zelle@wartburg.edu> wrote:
Is this what you're looking for:
d = dict(key1=52, key2=12) d {'key2': 12, 'key1': 52}
Of course this only works for keys that are strings.

Someone (Dethe? Ian?) showed me syntax I'd never seen before around Python dictionary defining, involving an equal sign I thought. Tried searching my gmail, other things. Maybe faster to just ask: what was that syntax again?
