New submission from Беатрис Бонева <beatrisvbon...@gmail.com>:
When changing a dict while iterating through it by removing one key and
inserting other which is calculated based on the old one, the dict is changed
unexpectedly.
The following function:
```
def test(d: dict):
for i in d:
d[i+1] = d.pop(i)
```
when called with input dict `{1: 'test'}` transforms the dict to:
- `{6: 'test'}` in Python3.7.4;
- `{8: 'test'}` in Python3.5.3 and Python2.7.
If I change the function to add 2 to the key ( `d[i+2] = d.pop(i)` ) and use
the same input `{1: 'test'}` the dict is changed to:
- `{11: 'test'}` in Python3.7;
- `{9: 'test'}` in Python3.5.
Similar thing happens with strings:
```
def test(d: dict):
for i in d:
d[i+'x'] = d.pop(i)
```
When called with input dict `{'a': 'test'}` it transforms it to:
- `{'axxxxx': 'test'}` in Python3.7.4;
- `{'axx': 'test'}` in Python3.5.3.
