Python: Checking if a 'Dictionary' is empty doesn't seem to work

Question

I am trying to check if a dictionary is empty but it doesn\'t behave properly. It just skips it and displays ONLINE without anything except of display the m

Answer 1

You can also use get(). Initially I believed it to only check if key existed.

>>> d = { 'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':{}}
>>> bool(d.get('c'))
False
>>> d['c']['e']=1
>>> bool(d.get('c'))
True

What I like with get is that it does not trigger an exception, so it makes it easy to traverse large structures.
