Re: [Python-ideas] dict(default=int)

Hi All,

I find importing defaultdict from collections to be clunky and it seems like having a default should just be an optional keyword to dict. Thus, something like,

d = dict(default=int)

would be the same as

from collections import defaultdict d = defaultdict(int)

Any thoughts?

I have never really used it, so I might say something stupid, but doesn't it prevent the use of "default" as a key in the generated dict? Would those 2 dicts be equal ? d1 = dict(default=5) d2 = {'default': 5} Brice
