I'm building Mac and Windows versions of an application with a dictionary as one main data structure. A dialog box lets the user type a string which is then used to change the value associated with one of the keys, or to generate a new key-value pair. At least if the pair is new, on Windows the test
if word in self.Dict:
newvalue = self.Dict[word]
fails even though, in the debugger, the string I see for 'word' is identical to one of the keys now visible in self.Dict. This is in Windows only; the Mac version works fine.
The dialog box is making the proper return on both platforms, and the new key-value pair is being inserted into the dictionary. I haven't yet checked what happens if the key was an existing one and only the value is changed, and I suppose that might turn out to be the crucial question. But either way, I'm very puzzled to find a cross-platform disparity in this area. What am I missing?
