<p><strong>Source code:</strong> <a class="reference external" href="http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/UserDict.py">Lib/UserDict.py</a></p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>The module defines a mixin,  <a class="reference internal" href="#UserDict.DictMixin" title="UserDict.DictMixin"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">DictMixin</span></tt></a>, defining all dictionary methods
for classes that already have a minimum mapping interface.  This greatly
simplifies writing classes that need to be substitutable for dictionaries (such
as the shelve module).</p>
<p>This module also defines a class, <a class="reference internal" href="#module-UserDict" title="UserDict: Class wrapper for dictionary objects."><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UserDict</span></tt></a>, that acts as a wrapper
around dictionary objects.  The need for this class has been largely supplanted
by the ability to subclass directly from <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#dict" title="dict"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">dict</span></tt></a> (a feature that became
available starting with Python version 2.2).  Prior to the introduction of
<a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#dict" title="dict"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">dict</span></tt></a>, the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-UserDict" title="UserDict: Class wrapper for dictionary objects."><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UserDict</span></tt></a> class was used to create dictionary-like
sub-classes that obtained new behaviors by overriding existing methods or adding
new ones.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-UserDict" title="UserDict: Class wrapper for dictionary objects."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">UserDict</span></tt></a> module defines the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-UserDict" title="UserDict: Class wrapper for dictionary objects."><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UserDict</span></tt></a> class and

<p>In addition to supporting the methods and operations of mappings (see section

<p>This mixin should be used as a superclass.  Adding each of the above methods
adds progressively more functionality.  For instance, defining all but
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__delitem__" title="object.__delitem__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__delitem__()</span></tt></a> will preclude only <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">pop()</span></tt> and <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">popitem()</span></tt> from the
full interface.</p>
<p>In addition to the four base methods, progressively more efficiency comes with
defining <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__contains__" title="object.__contains__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__contains__()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__iter__" title="object.__iter__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__iter__()</span></tt></a>, and <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">iteritems()</span></tt>.</p>
<p>Since the mixin has no knowledge of the subclass constructor, it does not define
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__" title="object.__init__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__init__()</span></tt></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="copy.html#module-copy" title="copy: Shallow and deep copy operations."><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">copy()</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>Starting with Python version 2.6, it is recommended to use
<a class="reference internal" href="collections.html#collections.MutableMapping" title="collections.MutableMapping"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">collections.MutableMapping</span></tt></a> instead of <a class="reference internal" href="#UserDict.DictMixin" title="UserDict.DictMixin"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">DictMixin</span></tt></a>.</p>

<p>When Python 2.2 was released, many of the use cases for this class were

handful of use cases remain.</p>
<p>This module provides a list-interface around an underlying data store.  By

<p><strong>Subclassing requirements:</strong> Subclasses of <a class="reference internal" href="#module-UserList" title="UserList: Class wrapper for list objects."><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">UserList</span></tt></a> are expect to
offer a constructor which can be called with either no arguments or one
argument.  List operations which return a new sequence attempt to create an
instance of the actual implementation class.  To do so, it assumes that the
constructor can be called with a single parameter, which is a sequence object
used as a data source.</p>
<p>If a derived class does not wish to comply with this requirement, all of the
special methods supported by this class will need to be overridden; please
consult the sources for information about the methods which need to be provided
in that case.</p>
<p class="versionchanged">
<span class="versionmodified">Changed in version 2.0: </span>Python versions 1.5.2 and 1.6 also required that the constructor be callable
