Let's get back on-topic. I assume you are recommending to close this issue by rejecting the patch. I disagree. The patch can be fixed to properly override all methods and a unit test can be added to guarantee that all dict methods are overridden. The patch has two distinct benefits: (1) UserDict is not loaded on startup; and (2) os.environ is faster. IMHO, these two reasons make the patch worth pursuing. BTW, one of the objections based on exec .. in os.environ behavior (see http://bugs.python.org/msg49131) has become invalid since then. Specific issues should of course be addressed.
