What's New in Python 3.11?

That problem also exists in sets because some values that aren't interchangeable still compare equal:

  >>> {1} | {1.0} | {True}
  {1}

But the behavior for dicts is surprising even in that light:

  >>> {1: 1} | {1.0: 1.0} | {True: True}
  {1: True}

But that is not really the `|` operators fault. You get the exact same behaviour when you create a dictionary.

    >>> {1: 1, 1.0: 1.0, True: True}
    {1: True}

So `|` between dictionaries behaves just as you'd expect, if your expectations about creating a dictionary are correct. I think that's very reasonable.

bool as int is sometimes useful and often infuriating
