Known Subclasses:

turbogears.util.Bunch

dict() -> new empty dictionary
dict(mapping) -> new dictionary initialized from a mapping object's
    (key, value) pairs
dict(iterable) -> new dictionary initialized as if via:
    d = {}
    for k, v in iterable:
        d[k] = v
dict(**kwargs) -> new dictionary initialized with the name=value pairs
    in the keyword argument list.  For example:  dict(one=1, two=2)

Instance Methods

__cmp__(x, y)
cmp(x,y)

True if D has a key k, else False

__contains__(D, k)

__delitem__(x, y)
del x[y]

__eq__(x, y)
x==y

__ge__(x, y)
x>=y

__getattribute__(...)
x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

__getitem__(x, y)
x[y]

__gt__(x, y)
x>y

new empty dictionary

__init__()
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

__iter__(x)
iter(x)

__le__(x, y)
x<=y

__len__(x)
len(x)

__lt__(x, y)
x<y

__ne__(x, y)
x!=y

a new object with type S, a subtype of T

__new__(T, S, ...)

__repr__(x)
repr(x)

__setitem__(x, i, y)
x[i]=y

size of D in memory, in bytes

__sizeof__(D)

None

clear(D)
Remove all items from D.

a shallow copy of D

copy(D)

New dict with keys from S and values equal to v

fromkeys(dict, S, v=...)
v defaults to None.

D[k] if k in D, else d

get(D, k, d=...)
d defaults to None.

True if D has a key k, else False

has_key(D, k)

list of D's (key, value) pairs, as 2-tuples

items(D)

an iterator over the (key, value) items of D

iteritems(D)

an iterator over the keys of D

iterkeys(D)

an iterator over the values of D

itervalues(D)

list of D's keys

keys(D)

v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value

pop(D, k, d=...)
If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised

(k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair as a

popitem(D)
2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D

setdefault(D, k, d=...)

None

update(D, E, **F)
Update D from dict/iterable E and F.

list of D's values

values(D)

Inherited from object: __delattr__, __format__, __reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __setattr__, __str__, __subclasshook__

Class Variables
	__hash__ = `None` hash(x)

Properties
Inherited from `object`: `__class__`

Method Details

getattribute(...)

x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

Overrides: object.__getattribute__

init()
(Constructor)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Returns: new empty dictionary
Overrides: object.__init__

new(T, S, ...)

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

repr(x)
(Representation operator)

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__

sizeof(D)

Returns: size of D in memory, in bytes
Overrides: object.__sizeof__

update(D, E, **F)

Update D from dict/iterable E and F. If E has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

Returns: None
