Have you missed these methods in practice (i.e., do you have use cases), or it still just a matter of making BTrees formally "more like" newer Python dictionaries? Ruslan, don't forget to change BTrees/Interfaces.py. I find that hard to follow: defining 14 interfaces to describe the BTree types makes it quite a maze to traverse. If setdefault() is added, it probably belongs in IDictionaryIsh. _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
