[Tutor] Dictionary Error: 'dict' object has noattribute '_con tains_'

[Liam Clarke-Hutchinson]

I believe around Python 2.2...

I used to want that syntax when I started, now I stick to for x in y.keys()
- The 'explicit > implicit' concept has become important to me; probably
because I do most of my coding after midnight and the "should really be in
bed" mistakes are bad enough, but adding implicitness in any form tends to
increase my time to debug.
I'm learning C at the moment, which has a degree of implicitness that could
bite me; ditto C#.

Regards,

Now howzabout that! Yet another new trick learnt.
When did 'in' start working with dictionaries?
