Keep in mind that dict /will not/ call your overridden methods, so if,

provide your own copies of any dict method that calls __getitem__.
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that Chris's __getitem__ will
not be called by other dict methods that would normally call this magic
method and instead call the parent's __getitem__ directly (via super()
or something similar?)?
That is what I am saying.
Is this specific to the native Dict class (because its implemented in C
vs. Python?) or is this behavior more general.
I /think/ it's only dict, but I haven't played with subclassing lists, tuples, etc. It's not a C vs Python issue, but a
'implemented with __private methods' issue. From what I have seen so far in the confusion and frustration that decision
has caused, I do not think it was a good one. :(
