[New-bugs-announce] [issue18991] Overriding OrderedDict.__getitem__() doesn't work

[Davi Post]

New submission from Davi Post:

class MyOrderedDict(OrderedDict):
   
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        OrderedDict.__getitem__(self, key)

After setting a key, getting it returns None. See attached.

Am I missing something?

Discovered this when trying to use the dict_type parameter of ConfigParser.RawConfigParser -- caused an AttributeError.

Possibly relevant to http://bugs.python.org/issue9534
