Why is the default value of an int zero? >>> x = int >>> print x <type 'int'> >>> x() 0 >>>
How do I build an "int1" type that has a default value of 1? [Hopefully no speed penalty.] I am thinking about applications with collections.defaultdict. What if I want to make a defaultdict of defaultdicts of lists? [I guess my Perl background is showing -- I miss auto-vivification.] W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
