[issue10533] defaultdict constructor with a concrete value

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

I would love this functionality (I almost always initialise defaultdict with a lambda that just returns a concrete value).

Unfortunately it seems like adding a keyword argument isn't possible because defaultdict takes arbitrary keyword args (and populates the dict with them).

    defaultdict(lambda: 1, foo=1, bar=2, baz=3)
