Would the argument be the key, or the pair? I'd guess the key.

Right, the key.

If so, there's the 2-arg flavor of dict.pop():

>>> d = {} >>> d.pop("key", None) It's not terribly obvious, but does the job without enlarging the dict API.

Yeah, this looks good. I don't think I've ever used it like this.
