Dict Comprehensions - PEP 274

[Donnal Walter]

1. Is ``PEP 274 -- Dict Comprehensions`` still under active consideration?
If so, what is its present status?

2. Is there currently (under 2.2.2 or 2.3) a more elegant way to accomplish
the following:

class _node(object): pass

class Cell(_node): pass

class Assembly(_node):

    def __getstate__(self):
        state = {}
        for name, attr in self.__dict__.items():
            if isinstance(attr, _node):
                state[name] = attr
        return state
