[Python-Dev] Want to make dictproxy objects creatable from Python

[Jim Fulton]

New-style classes use dict proxies to protect their dictionaries
from direct manipulation. I would like to be able to use these in
other situations, but the dictproxy class doesn't let me create new
instances.  I propose to give the class __new__ and __init__ methods
so that it is callable from Python.

Any objections?

May I do this for 2.4b1?

Jim
