Documentation of dict views change request

Show all headers | View raw

Could it please be clearly documented that keys(), values(), and items() 
are not writeable.  I agree that this is how they should be, but it 
would be still better if they were clearly documented as such.  The 
labeling of them as dynamic, while true, was a bit confusing here.  
(I.e., it was talking about changing their value through other means of 
access rather than directly through the returned values.)

P.S.:  Is it reasonable to return the items() of a dict in order to pass 
a read only copy of the values?
