Raymond Hettinger added the comment: The difference is the underlying methods. DictMixin depended on getitem, setitem, delitem, and keys. MutableMapping doesn't need keys but wants __iter__ and __len__. Also, DictMixin did not insist on all of those being present, while MutableMapping won't let you skip any (with delitem being the one most likely omitted).
