Do not rely on dicts.merge to change target Also make dicts.merge actually not touch target. This is much cleaner than modifying in place, especially since we assign the result of the dicts.merge call to target most of the time anyway. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

"""
 This module houses the GEOS exceptions, specifically, GEOSException and
 GEOSGeometryIndexError.

class GEOSIndexError(GEOSException, KeyError):
    """
    This exception is raised when an invalid index is encountered, and has
    the 'silent_variable_feature' attribute set to true.  This ensures that
    django's templates proceed to use the next lookup type gracefully when
    an Exception is raised.  Fixes ticket #4740.
