Can you say, for the record (since nobody else seems to care), if d.getorset(key, func) would work in your use cases? Because I haven't been reading this thread all that closely, you'll have to remind me what this means.

Roughly the same (save for method/function difference) as:

def getorset(d, key, func): if key not in d: d[key] = func() return d[key]
