Summary

  • Check .keys attribute existence before calling PyDict_Update/_PyDict_MergeEx in DICT_UPDATE and DICT_MERGE bytecodes
  • Remove overly broad AttributeError catch that was masking real errors as TypeError: 'X' object is not a mapping

Closes #145876.

  • Issue: AttributeErrors raised in .keys() or .__getitem__() during {**mymapping}are incorrectly masked #145876

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

I suspect that this will add an overhead to non-exact dict operations. It's definitely not desirable in this case. In addition, the case is a bit niche IMO. I want to discuss this on the issue first so I'm going to close it for now.
