  ...dictionary constructor (a class method of the dict class), dict.fromkeys(iterable, value=None). It constructs a dictionary with keys taken from the iterable and all values set to a single value. It can be used for building sets and for removing duplicates from sequences. Added a new dict method pop(key). This removes and returns the value corresponding to key. [SF patch #539949] A new built-in type, bool, has been added, as well as built-in names for its two values, True and False. Compar...

  ...dictionary data structures can be used in combination to build just about any fast runtime data structure in a snap. This further reduces the amount of support code you need to write. 4) Extensive standard library -- Python comes with a vast standard library supporting everything from string and regular expression processing to XML parsing and generation, Web services tools, and internet protocol support. Many common programming tasks have already been built into the standard library, making it ...

• What's new in Python 2.3

  ...dictionary from the key/value pairs, and dict.fromkeys(iterable) returns a dict whose keys are taken from the given iterable (the values default to None). Also a new dict method was added, pop(key), which removes and returns the value corresponding to the given key. filter() - now returns Unicode when the input is Unicode. Various bugs with subclasses of built-in types fixed. (New in 2.3a2.) int() - this can now return a long when converting a string with many digits, rather than raising Overf...

• Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

  ...dictionary lookups) an optimization is in order. The dummy entry avoids searching the package's path when the same global module is imported from the second time by a submodule of the same package. Dummy entries are only created for modules that are found at the top level; if the module is not found at all, the import fails and the optimization is generally not needed. Moreover, in interactive use, the user could create the module as a package-local submodule and retry the import; if ...

  ...Dictionary objects now (one object instead of three). Bug #951851: Python crashed when reading import table of certain Windows DLLs. Bug #215126. The locals argument to eval(), execfile(), and exec now accept any mapping type. marshal now shares interned strings. This change introduces a new .pyc magic. Bug #966623. classes created with type() in an exec(, {}) don't have a __module__, but code in typeobject assumed it would always be there. Python no longer relies on the LC_NUMERIC locale setti...

• What's New In Python 3.0

  ...dictionary for the new class namespace. The long-deprecated argument "pend" of PyFloat_FromString() has been removed. The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows customizing the output of dir() in the presence of a __getattr__(). Removed support for __members__ and __methods__. Removed indexing/slicing on BaseException. input() became raw_input(): the name input() now implements the ...
