Help on dict object:
 
class dict(object)
 | dict() -> new empty dictionary
 | dict(mapping) -> new dictionary initialized from a mapping object's
 | (key, value) pairs
 | dict(iterable) -> new dictionary initialized as if via:
 | d = {}
 | for k, v in iterable:
 | d[k] = v
 | dict(**kwargs) -> new dictionary initialized with the name=value pairs
 | in the keyword argument list. For example: dict(one=1, two=2)

 | update(...)
 | D.update([E, ]**F) -> None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.
 | If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k]
 | If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v
 | In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]
