Setting value for integer dict key

[paulmelis]

I must be stupid, but I don't see how I can set an integer key on an nb::dict. Something like nb::dict res; res[1] = "a"; gives a runtime error TypeError: dict is not a sequence, apparently interpreting it as a list. Yet, res["1"] = "a"; works. Is there a specific call I need to use?

Integer indexing is internally wired up to the sequence protocol, which dictionaries do not support. As of commit 93a653c, there is a workaround that you can use:

res[nb::int_(value)] = "a";
