Using PyCharm, I noticed it offers to convert a dict literal:
d = {
'one': '1',
'two': '2',
}
into a dict constructor:
d = dict(one='1', two='2')
Do these different approaches differ in some significant way?
(While writing this question I noticed that using dict()
it seems impossible to specify a numeric key .. d = {1: 'one', 2: 'two'}
is possible, but, obviously, dict(1='one' ...)
is not. Anything else?)
Answer
I think you have pointed out the most obvious difference. Apart from that,
the first doesn't need to lookup dict
which should make it a tiny bit faster
the second looks up dict
in locals()
and then globals()
and the finds the builtin, so you can switch the behaviour by defining a local called dict
for example although I can't think of anywhere this would be a good idea apart from maybe when debugging
