Rémi Lapeyre <remi.lape...@henki.fr> added the comment: Hi @vykouk, Python evaluates arguments before calling functions so
>>> dicti.get(key, dflt(key)) is equivalent to: >>> arg = dflt(key) >>> dicti.get(key, arg) Notive how dflt() is called before .get() This is how all functions work in Python, not just dict methods. You can change your code like so to make it work: >>> if key in dicti: >>> x = dicti[key] >>> else: >>> x = dflt(key) or use defaultdict instead of setdefault which will take a callable to generate the default value. I don't think there is a bug and we can close this issue. Have a nice day. ---------- nosy: +remi.lapeyre _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37033> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
