dict.update broken?

[Gregg Reynolds]

dict().update({0: 0, 1: 1})

=> None

According to the docs update should take a dict argument. It should also take a list of pairs:

d = {0: 0, 1: 1}
dict().update(d.items())

=> None

I just need to combine two dictionaries. This should be trivial, but I can't see how to do it.

Never mind.  I keep forgetting I'm not dealing with a functional language, where "update" does not mean "mutate".

d = {0: 0, 1: 1}

d.update({2: 2})

d == {0: 0, 11, 2: 2}
