Minor, but it looks like someone decided to use a defaultdict but forgot to remove the checks for whether a key exists.

Creating a defaultdict(list):
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6f0eb93183519024cb360162bdd81b9faec97ba6/Lib/lib2to3/btm_matcher.py#L100

Checking for the key, then initializing an empty list:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6f0eb93183519024cb360162bdd81b9faec97ba6/Lib/lib2to3/btm_matcher.py#L120

Again:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6f0eb93183519024cb360162bdd81b9faec97ba6/Lib/lib2to3/btm_matcher.py#L137

Because the ``results`` is getting returned, perhaps it'd be better to use a regular dict and dict.setdefault instead of a defaultdict.

Nice catch.  You've got sharp eyes.

Do you want to submit a pull request or have another dev work on it?
msg290957 - (view) Author: Michael Selik (selik) * Date: 2017-04-01 04:43
I'll submit a pull request momentarily.

PR submitted. I also signed the contributor agreement, but the bot doesn't seem to have noticed.

Thanks for the PR Michael :)

It may take one US business day for the CLA to be received.
Then a core dev has to manually update the label in GitHub.

Rather than removing the defaultdict, I think a cleaner fix is to just remove the unnecessary LBYL.   That leaves the code a little more compact, faster, and nice looking.

Ok, I'll change the PR.
