py3: use dict.update() instead of constructing lists and adding them

dict.items() returned a list on Python 2 and whereas on Python 3 it returns a
view object. So we required a work around. Using dict.update() is better then
constructing lists as it should save us on gc churns.

# A portable replacement for 'seq'

# Usage:
#   seq STOP              [1, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STOP        [START, STOP] stepping by 1
#   seq START STEP STOP   [START, STOP] stepping by STEP
