[New-bugs-announce] [issue38998] dict.setdefault (setdefault of dictionary)

[da-dada]

New submission from da-dada <georg.klingenberg at travedsl.de>:

from the docu I expected at the second call just a return of value and not a second calculation: there is room for improvement, as Elon Musk would say..

class Ddefault:

    def __init__(self):
        vars(self).setdefault('default', self.set_default())
        vars(self).setdefault('default', self.set_default())

    def set_default(self):
        print(vars(self))
        return 'default'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Ddefault()
