Disable keylist feature?

[BearAndBunny]

Is it possible to disable the keylist feature?

Using tuples as keys with the usual syntax does not work:

from benedict import benedict

x = benedict()
x[("a", True)] = "test"
print(x)

x = benedict()
x.update({("a", True): "test"}) #works, but clumsy syntax
print(x)

y = dict()
y[("a", True)] = "test"
print(y)

Output:

{'a': [None, 'test']}
{('a', True): 'test'}
{('a', True): 'test'}

@BearAndBunny thank you for reporting this, actually the keylist is a core feature, however the behaviour should be consistent across all methods.

The keylist feature could be changed to work only with lists and not with tuples. Lists are not hashable and cannot be used as keys with a dict(). That way it would be consistent and benedict uses lists as keys in a special way as a feature.

Yes, this could be a nice improvement indeed!

@BearAndBunny fixed in 0.34.0 version.
