Note that it's polite to start a new thread when you change topic.
That said, I don't expect Python will ever let you replace things like this -- it means that libraries would not be able to depend on consistent behavior across users. What would happen if I did something like:
class BrokenDict(dict):
def __getitem__(self, key):
raise TypeErrorand then set Python's dict to this dict instead? I would break pretty much every function that takes a **kwargs argument.
