python学习笔记 - dict.update

在学习tornado template源码的时候，遇到以下dict.update语法：

 def generate(self, **kwargs):
        """Generate this template with the given arguments."""
        namespace = {
            "escape": escape.xhtml_escape,
            "url_escape": escape.url_escape,
            "json_encode": escape.json_encode,
            "squeeze": escape.squeeze,
            "datetime": datetime,
        }
        namespace.update(kwargs)

对于dict object的update函数做下代码场景和学习笔记：

dic = {"A":"a", "B":"b"}
# print the original dict object, output {"A":"a", "B":"b"}
print dic
# update the given key to invoke the another value if the given key exists
dic.update(A="Aa")
# output {'A': 'Aa', 'B': 'b'}
print dic
# if the the given key is not existed, add this key/value pair in the target dict object
dic.update(C="C")
# output {'A': 'Aa', 'C': 'C', 'B': 'b'}
print dic

;) ! Move on!!!!!
