[Python-ideas] Re: An unambiguous way of initializing an empty set and dictionary

Currently: l = [] # new empty list t = () # new empty tuple s = set() # new empty set (no clean and consistent way of initializing regarding the others) <<< d = {} # new empty dictionary

Possible solution: s = {} # new empty set d = {:} # new empty dictionary (the ":" is a reference to key-value pairs)

Nope, that would break tons of existing code. Not gonna happen. ChrisA
