problems with dict() in python 2.2

[Olaf Meyer]

I'm trying to build a dictionary using python's dict type, but somehow
it does not work the way I expect it to. Here's the code:

Python 2.2.1 (#7, Jan 9 2004, 16:59:31) [C] on hp-ux11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'red' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Olaf

You're using a 2.3 feature in 2.2.

Allright, I thought it was 2.2. Too bad, since I cannot get 2.3 compiled
on HP-UX.
