Python dict.get() raises KeyError

Question

I am getting lost here, Python 2.7, I have a dictionary mt, and I use the get() method, which by documentation says:

g

Answer 1

>>> mt = {'key1' : 1}
>>> mt.get('is_rebill', 0)
0

It does not generates key error if key is not present it returns 0

>>> mt.update({'is_rebill':1})
>>> mt.get('is_rebill', 0)
1

>>> if mt.get('is_rebill', 0) == 1:
...     print True
... else:
...     print False
... 
False
