The class collections.defaultdict
takes a default factory, used to generate a default value.
If the values contained in the dict
-like object should default to False
, the instance can be created as:
d_false = defaultdict(bool)
What is the most pythonic way to achieve the same for a default value of True
?
In other terms, is there a standard callable object returning True
which is idiomatically used as the relative of bool
?
Of course, the factory could be built as a lambda expression:
d_true = defaultdict(lambda: True)
but this might be reinventing the wheel.
Well, you can do
d = defaultdict(True.__bool__)
but I personally would go with the lambda: True
.
