[Python-Dev] PyDict_Get/SetItem and dict subclasses

[Éric Araujo]

Hi Victor,

> PyDict_GetItem() and PyDict_SetItem() don't call __getitem__ and __setitem__

http://bugs.python.org/issue10977 “Currently, the concrete object C API
bypasses any methods defined on subclasses of builtin types.”

Cheers
