[Python-Dev] [PATCH] Fix dictionary subclass semantics whenused as global dictionaries

[Raymond Hettinger]

You don't have to keep writing notes to python-dev on this patch.
It is assigned to me and when I get a chance to go through it in detail,
it has a good likelihood of going in (if no issues arise).

I've significantly re-worked the patch to permit globals to be
arbitrary mappings.
The regression tests continue to all pass.
