Why does Pycharm's inspector complain about “d = {}”?

Question

When initializing a dictionary with d = {} Pycharm\'s code inspector generates a warning, saying

This dictionary creation could be rewrit

Answer 1

What is the following code to your dictionary declaration?

I think pycharm will trigger the error if you have something like:

dic = {}
dic['aaa'] = 5

as you could have written

dic = {'aaa': 5}

BTW: The fact that the error goes away if you use the function doesn't necessarily mean that pycharm believes dict() is a literal. It could just mean that it doesn't complain for:

dic = dict()
dic['aaa'] = 5

HTH!
