@AlexanderOh I am not sure whenever this is a joke or not; I see this as a perfectly (valid) answ! (at least in terms of it works) but Of course; yeah; the second comment sets a precedent! either way; it is Indeed pythonic!

Well, if people insist on making it a oneliner, you can always do (lambda z: z.update(y) or z)(x.copy()) :P

Put it this way: if you need to put two lines of comments explaining your one line of code to the people you hand your code off to...have you really done it in one line? :) I fully agree Python is not good for this: there should be a much easier way. While this answer is more pythonic, is it really all that explicit or clear? Update is not one of the "core" functions that people tend to use a lot.
