What is confusing you? You evidently know what .get invoked on a dictionary does, that's what's being called for each key in the dictionary.

Summary: The get keyword will bind an object property to a function. When this property is looked up now the getter function is called. The return value of the getter function then determines which property is returned. Example:

172 Ultimately it probably doesn't have a safe .get method because a dict is an associative collection (values are associated with names) where it is inefficient to check if a key is present (and return its value) without throwing an exception, while it is super trivial to avoid exceptions accessing list elements (as the len method is very fast).

Non-data descriptors, instance and class methods, get their implicit first arguments (usually named self and cls, respectively) from their non-data descriptor method, __get__ - and this is how static methods know not to have an implicit first argument.

Первая форма функции get() считывает символы в массив, на который ссылается указатель buf, пока не будет считан num - 1 символов, обнаружен символ перехода на следующую строку или достигнут конец ...
