i'd imagine it could be just one function that with just one argument means to fetch data indexed by that argument, and with two arguments means to store the data (given in the 2nd argument) at the specified index.

i've noted that a few posts show that some of you know about expressing an assembly-like language that expresses what goes on inside Python (or at least inside CPython). where did you learn this? is there a document that explains all of this?
= mydict[x] vs. mydict[x] = how do the function calls differ. is this an implementation decision?edit:
