OptionalDict

✓ from optionaldict import OptionalDict

No common wrong import; the package is simple.

Create an OptionalDict, set keys with None values are ignored.

from optionaldict import OptionalDict d = OptionalDict() d['key1'] = 'value1' d['key2'] = None # This assignment is silently ignored d['key3'] = 'value3' print(dict(d)) # Output: {'key1': 'value1', 'key3': 'value3'}

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOptionalDict does not ignore None on initialization from another dict with None values; only assignments via __setitem__ are filtered.

fix

After creating OptionalDict from a regular dict, manually reassign keys to trigger filtering, or use dict comprehension.

affects: all

gotchaOptionalDict only checks for None, not other falsy values like empty string, 0, or False.

fix

If you need to ignore other falsy values, subclass or wrap OptionalDict.
