[Fredrik Lundh]> ...> Anyone remember why nobody managed to come up with a better name> for setdefault (which is probably the worst name ever given to a method> in the standard Python distribution) ?I suggested a perfect name at the time:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-August/008036.htmlTo save you from following that link, to this day I still mentallytranslate "setdefault" to "getorset" whenever I see it. That itdidn't get that name is probably Skip's fault, for whining that"getorsetandget" would be "more accurate" <wink>. Actually, there'sno evidence that Guido noticed:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-August/008059.html> (if I were in charge, I'd rename it to something more informative. I'd also> add a "join" built-in (similar to the good old string.join) and a "textfile"> built-in (similar to open("U") plus support for encodings). but that's me. I> want my code nice and tidy.)I'm not sure who is in charge, but I am sure they can be bribed ;-)
