dict.setdefault is not there

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

here's what the dict method setdefault does:

def dict_setdefault(D, k, d):
    #D.setdefault(k[,d]) -> D.get(k,d), also set D[k]=d if k not in D
    r = D.get(k,d)
    if k not in D:
        D[k] = d
    return r

btw, here is another example for shedskin:

I converted the code from here so that it works with shedskin:

cheers,

thanks a lot for reporting! unfortunately, I'm on a (very busy) vacation at the
moment, but I will try to look into this as soon as possible..

btw, it looks like the problem comes from passing dict.setdefault as a method
reference, which is not supported at the moment (see the limitations section in 
the
tutorial). if you call the method directly, it should work: 

self.grid.setdefault(..)

assuming my guess was correct.
