You are right, thank you, I have done some tests already, and I'll soon
add that method too.

Partially related.
I have used the new Google code search:
http://www.google.com/codesearch/advanced_code_search
To find the usage frequency of Python dict methods:

456 ".itervalues()" lang:python
415 ".iteritems()" lang:python
403 ".iterkeys()" lang:python
387 ".values()" lang:python
385 ".clear()" lang:python
256 ".update(" lang:python
254 ".fromkeys(" lang:python
224 ".has_key(" lang:python
201 ".get(" lang:python
200 ".items()" lang:python
159 ".popitem()" lang:python
113 "a.setdefault(" lang:python

The results are quite approximated, but they seem meaningful.
