[issue9137] x.update(red=5, blue=6, other=7) doesn't work, where x is a MutableMapping

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Just a nitpick: I think the code will be clearer if you switch on args' length rather than catch IndexError:


nargs = len(args)
if nargs > 2:
   ...

self = args[0]
other = args[1] if nargs == 2 else ()
...
