[PyPy-issue] [issue708] Discrepancy in dict subclass __getitem__ calls between CPython 2.7 and PyPy 1.5

[Ryan McGuire]

New submission from Ryan McGuire <codespeak.net at enigmacurry.com>:

A subclass of dict that sets it's __dict__ object to itself exhibits strange behavior in PyPy when compared to how 
it runs in CPython 2.7.1

When attribute access is done on such an object, PyPy calls the __getitem__ method whereas CPython does not.

Attached is an example of what I'm trying. I've also pasted it here: https://gist.github.com/950696

This is a greatly abbreviated example, to show the root problem. For reference, the real world code is part of 
Blogofile here: https://github.com/EnigmaCurry/blogofile/blob/plugins/blogofile/cache.py

I'm using the binary release version of PyPy 1.5 x64 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04

Thanks for PyPy!
