Description

Run pudb on this code:

``` python
import collections
d = collections.defaultdict(set)
print d
print len(d)
```

It will print:

```
defaultdict(, {})
0
```

Now run the code in pudb again, but after d is created, open it in the Variables pane. It will have a key of 0 with an empty set as a value, and when the program is finished running, it will have printed:

```
defaultdict(, {0: set([])})
1
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied Python snippet in pudb and opening the defaultdict in the Variables pane. Trace how the Variables pane examines defaultdict values, then verify that inspecting d does not add key 0 and that its length and printed contents remain unchanged.
