Yes, Python Dictionary is mutable. Changing references to keys doesn't lead to the creation of new dictionaries. Rather it updates the current dictionary in place.
example
a = {'foo': 1, 'bar': 12} b = a b['foo'] = 20 print(a) print(b)
Output
This will give the output −
{'foo': 20, 'bar': 12} {'foo': 20, 'bar': 12}
