[EDIT] FILE: olddict.py

"""
A dict subclass for Python 3 that behaves like Python 2's dict

Example use:

>>> from past.builtins import dict
>>> d1 = dict()    # instead of {} for an empty dict
>>> d2 = dict(key1='value1', key2='value2')

The keys, values and items methods now return lists on Python 3.x and there are
methods for iterkeys, itervalues, iteritems, and viewkeys etc.

>>> for d in (d1, d2):
...     assert isinstance(d.keys(), list)
...     assert isinstance(d.values(), list)
...     assert isinstance(d.items(), list)
