[issue10357] ** and "mapping" are poorly defined in python docs

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I think the Glossary entry needs to be updated to point to the authoritative source for 'mapping' methods:

http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#abcs-abstract-base-classes

(and yes, I realize that info is not located in a particularly intuitive location!)

I wonder, however, if the code should be updated to use a dictionary iterator rather than 'keys'.
