Dictionary unpacking requires an objects with methods ``++__getitem__++`` and ``++keys++`` or ``++__getitem__++`` and ``++__getattr__++``. This is the case for any https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-mapping[mapping] object such as ``++dict++``. Using an object which doesn't have these methods will raise a ``++TypeError++``. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- class A: pass dict(**A()) # Noncompliant {'a': 10, 'b': 20, **A()} # Noncompliant ---- == Compliant Solution ---- class A: def __getitem__(self, key): return 2 def keys(self): return ['1','2','3'] dict(**A()) # => {'1': 2, '2': 2, '3': 2} {'a': 10, 'b': 20, **A()} # => {'a': 10, 'b': 20, '1': 2, '2': 2, '3': 2} ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::message.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
