	Linux: dict (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		dict is a client for the Dictionary Server Protocol (DICT), a TCP transaction based query/response protocol that provides access to dic- tionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases.
		The default is 2628, as specified in the DICT Proto- col RFC.
		We expect that dict.org will point to one or more DICT servers (perhaps in round-robin fashion) for the foreseeable future (starting in July 1997), although it is difficult to predict anything on the Internet for more than about 3-6 months.

	Ruby/DICT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ruby/DICT is an RFC 2229 compliant client-side library implementation of the DICT protocol, written in the Ruby programming language.
		Word definitions can be requested, the word index can be searched (using an easily extended set of algorithms), information about the server can be provided (e.g., which index search strategies are supported, or which databases are available), and information about a database can be provided (e.g., copyright, citation, or distribution information).
		Further, the DICT protocol has hooks that can be used to restrict access to some or all of the databases.

	Tcl Built-In Commands - dict manual page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This operation (the companion to dict set) takes the name of a variable containing a dictionary value and places an updated dictionary value in that variable that does not contain a mapping for the given key.
		As with dict update, making dictionaryVariable unreadable will make the updates to the dictionary be discarded, and this also happens if the contents of dictionaryVariable are adjusted so that the chain of dictionaries no longer exists.
		The result of dict with is (unless some kind of error occurs) the result of the evaluation of body.

	The DICT Project LG #33
		DICT is another TCPIP protocol (usable either over a network or on a local machine) which provides access to any number of dictionary databases.
		In order to access a DICT database the dict server must be running which communicates with dict client programs, whereas WordNet isn't a client-server program; the small wn program searches the database indices directly.
		DICT files contain more words (along with etymologies, which WordNet lacks) and can be supplemented with new files in the future, but DICT lacks WordNet's powerful thesaurus and lexical usage capabilities.

	mozdev.org - dict: index
		The DICT protocol is defined in RFC 2229.
		By default, the Dict extension queries the DICT server on dict.org for definitions, but it can be configured to use any DICT server.
		If the DICT server is listening on a non-standard port, right-click on "extensions.dict.defaultserverport", select modify, and change it to the port on which the DICT server is listening.

	RFC 2229 (rfc2229) - A Dictionary Server Protocol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		All DICT servers MUST implement this command (note, though, that the text part of the response is not specified and may be omitted).
		The possible implementation problems for a DICT server which would prevent command pipelining are similar to the problems that prevent pipelining in an SMTP server.
		URL Specification The DICT URL scheme is used to refer to definitions or word lists available using the DICT protocol: dict://;@:/d::: dict://;@:/m:::: The "/d" syntax specifies the DEFINE command (section 3.2), whereas the "/m" specifies the MATCH command (section 3.3).

	DICT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DICT is a dictionary network protocol created by the DICT Development Group.
		Several free dictionaries are available in the dict format:
		Instead, it provides a converter, which would imply that you need to store data twice if you want to use it both with the DICT protocol and with StarDict.

	Debian -- dict
		The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet.
		The default configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be changed in the configuration file /etc/dict.conf.
		dict includes dictl, which simplifies using utf-8 encoded dictionaries with terminals that do not support utf-8.

	dict
		I discussed with dkf that dict exist should handle missing dicts in the key lists not as error but simply return 0, so maybe one could discuss the issue of dict set also, as 8.5 is not even in alpha.
		The dict interface isn't frozen yet (won't be until 8.5.0) so we still have time to correct any mistakes in it, rather than resort to any -nocomplain ugliness.
		Dicts do some things, they can be passed as values, which arrays cannot, they have some great features (dict values for example is something that should be ported to arrays).

	Dict Continued LG #34
		Last month I wrote about the DICT client-server protocol, a GPL-licensed system for looking up words in a variety of dictionary databases.
		In your review, you mention that dictd requires a lot of memory to run, and suggest that people may not want to run the service all of the time.
		When I first began to use the DICT system, it occurred to me that an Emacs mode would be useful, so that a keystroke would open up a window showing definitions of the word under the cursor.

	ASPN : Python Cookbook : attrdict - a dict whose items can also be accessed as member variables (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In this one you can read dict entries as attributes, but attributes and dict entries are not the same thing.
		So, this one has the advantage that dict entries won't mask attributes, but the disadvantage that you can't read attributes using the dict subscript (d[k]) notation.
		TBH, I don't want a dict object, I just want an object with named attributes, but I want to be able to iterate over those attributes.

	Installing dict - An On-Line Dictionary LG #63 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To advertise the efforts of http://www.dict.org and to provide the means by which any Linux user regardless of experience, can install a functional dictionary system either for local or network use.
		Reading the documentation that came with the package revealed that the program was only a front end to another program, and that though it is possible to install a dictionary server locally, if I wanted to do so I would have to get everything else I need from the Internet.
		The DICT Development Group (www.dict.org) have both developed a Dictionary Server Protocol (as described in RFC 2229), client/server software in C as well as clients in other languages such as Java and Perl, and converted various freely available dictionaries for use with their software.

	PEP 252 -- Making Types Look More Like Classes
		Classes have a __dict__ attribute, which yields a dictionary containing methods and class variables defined by the class itself, and a __bases__ attribute, which is a tuple of base classes that must be inspected recursively.
		Some assumptions here are: - attributes defined in the instance dict override attributes defined by the object's class; - attributes defined in a derived class override attributes defined in a base class; - attributes in an earlier base class (meaning occurring earlier in __bases__) override attributes in a later base class.
		Looking at classic Python for guidance, I find conflicting rules: for class instances, the instance dict overrides the class dict, except for the special attributes (like __dict__ and __class__), which have priority over the instance dict.

	Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2
		This uses the new "key not in dict" test as well as the new "for key in dict:" to iterate efficiently (without making a copy of the list of keys) over all keys in a dictionary.
		Whatever this call M(name, bases, dict) returns is then assigned to the variable corresponding to the class name, and that's all there is to the class statement.
		The collection pass looks through dict, which is the dictionary representing the class variables and methods (excluding base class variables and methods).

	How to think like a Pythonista (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		>>> dict = {'a':[1],'b':[2]} >>> list = dict.values() >>> list [[1], [2]] >>> dict['a'].append(3) >>> dict {'a': [1, 3], 'b': [2]} >>> list [[1, 3], [2]] Looks like that in the first case a copy is returned while in the latter case list references are returned.
		It works, but of course it can never be as fast as the mundane business of shallow copying (which in turn is never as fast as just handing out one more reference to an existing object, whenever the latter course of action is feasible).
		Not really -- if you change _objects to which the dict refers_ (rather than changing the dict in se), then other references to just-the-same-objects remain references to just the same objects -- if the objects mutate, you see the mutated objects from whatever references to them you may be using.
