Not only. Please, consider:

     >>> dictkeys = type({}.keys())
     >>> set(dir(dictkeys)).difference(dir(object))
     {'__ror__', '__rsub__', '__and__', '__rand__', '__contains__',  
'__len__', '__iter__', '__or__', '__rxor__', '__xor__', '__sub__'}

And e.g. comparision-related mehods (__gt__, __le__ and so on) also are  
more interensing in dict keys views than in plain object() instances...
