If you want to use the 3.0 mixins in 2.6, perhaps an alternate set of APIs could be imported from the future? E.g. from future_collections import Mapping. IIRC a similar mechanism was proposed for some built-in functions, even though I see no traces of an implementation yet.
Any know what happened to the effort to put the 3.0 dict in future_builtins? That would nicely sync-up the ABC with a concrete implementation and bring 2.6 a little closer to 3.0. Raymond
