Sometimes I feel that it would be neat of dict constructors (like proposed previously in the thread) could also be chained, e.g.: dict.ordered.default(int)(a=1, b=2) -- Ryan (ライアン) Yoko Shimomura > ryo (supercell/EGOIST) > Hiroyuki Sawano >> everyone else http://refi64.com On May 29, 2017 2:06 PM, "Neil Girdhar" <mistersheik@gmail.com> wrote:
A long time ago, I proposed that the dict variants (sorteddict, defaultdict, weakkeydict, etc.) be made more discoverable by having them specified as keyword arguments and I got the same feedback that the poster here is getting. Now, instead of moving these classes into dict, why not have a factory like
dict.factory(values=None, *, ordered=True, sorted=False, has_default=False, weak_keys=False, weak_values=False, …)
If prefers the keyword-argument as options to the keyword-argument as initializer magic, they can set:
dict = dict.factory
Best,
Neil

If we really want to make defaultdict feel more "builtin" (and I don't see
any reason to do so), I'd suggest adding a factory function:
dict.defaultdict(int)
Nice.
I agree -- what about:
dict.sorteddict() ??
make easy access to various built-in dict variations...
