   Python's dict splice ({a}|{b}) does not recursively splice dicts:
   >>> a={1:{1:1}}
   >>> b={1:{2:2}}
   >>> a
   {1: {1: 1}}
   >>> b
   {1: {2: 2}}
   >>> a|b
   {1: {2: 2}}

     @Zergling_man Pretty much no python function works as you want it to.

     @Zergling_man I want the programming language to work properly and not be braindead.
     
     The one way Python wants to do things is the wrong way.

     @Suiseiseki You're thinking of javascript. Python is generally braindead easy; it's for when I want to write something without thinking and have it still do what I wanted. Usually there is one,and preferably only one, obvious way to do things. This is the obvious behaviour; just not the most convenient.
