I am reading cpython code for python 3k and I have noticed, that __missing__
is called only when dict_subscript
is called, but not when PyDict_GetItem
is used. What is the difference between those two methods and when each is called? If I pass an PyObject that is a subclass of dict and has __missing__
method, how can I force using it, since PyDict_GetItem
doesn't do that.
