[Python-Dev] py2.7: dictobject not properly resizing

True, but your example mechanism of getting a shrink event is purely
based on ma_fill.  This is happening because your last loop is
increasing ma_fill to the point where it thinks it needs to resize
because of the load factor and then it calculates the new size based
on ma_used.  The comment that I pointed out from the code seems to
imply that simply having ma_fill >> ma_used will trigger a resize.
The two conditions for a resize are definitely not equivalent!
