There is the .update() method :)
update([other])
Update the dictionary with the key/value pairs from other, overwriting existing keys. Return None.
update() accepts either another dictionary object or an iterable of key/value pairs (as tuples or other iterables of length two). If
keyword arguments are specified, the dictionary is then updated with
those key/value pairs: d.update(red=1, blue=2).
Changed in version 2.4: Allowed the argument to be an iterable of key/value pairs and allowed keyword arguments.
