I don't understand your question. Could you clarify? What does
"destrictivel" mean? Why do you say it is returning a new dictionary (it
simply returns the modified input dictionary)?
Since d is mutable, the function changes it "in place". You could drop
the return statement and call the function thusly:
d = someDictionary
dictNoneValueTo(d, 123)
*def* dictNoneValueTo(d, new_value=''):
*"""force None values in a dictionary to a default value"""*
*for* k *in* d:
*if* d[k] *is* *None*:
d[k] = new_value
*return* d
For what its worth please inform your lawyers that I do not read or heed
any lengthy legalese at the end of emails. I think they do more to
irritate recipients than to protect anything.
Be warned: this message has no intention to do anything but inform. You
may do anything with it you like. So there.
