New submission from nickeubank:
Found an odd behavior I'd never known about today, not sure if it's a bug or
known. Python 3.4.4 (anaconda)
True, False, 0, 1 can all be used as dictionary keys.
But
Apparently True and 1 hash to the same item and False and 0 hash to the same
item, so they can easily overwrite (which I spent a while banging my head over
today). In other words:
In[1]:
d = {True: 'a', False: 'b'}
d[0] = 'z'
d[False]
Out[1]:
'z'
