Methods

clear
copy
fromkeys

Create a new dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.

get

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

items
keys
pop

If the key is not found, return the default if given; otherwise, raise a KeyError.

popitem

Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.

Pairs are returned in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order. Raises KeyError if the dict is empty.

setdefault

Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

update

If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

values

clear

clear() -> None.  Remove all items from D.
