I need a dict-like object that, if it doesn't contain a key, will return the value from a "parent" object. Is there an easy way to do this so I don't have to define __getitem__ and __contains__ and others that I haven't even thought of yet? Here's a use case, if you're confused:
en_GB=mydict() en_US=mydict(en_GB) en_GB['bonnet']='part of your car' print en_US['bonnet'] # prints 'part of your car' en_US['bonnet']='a type of hat' print en_US['bonnet'] # prints 'a type of hat' print en_GB['bonnet'] # prints 'part of your car' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
