Hi,
Is it possible to use a dict type  as a Model instance attribute?
I can't seem to make it work correctly.    Using strings as a model
instance attribute seems to be fine, but when I assign values to an
element of a model's arbitrary dict attribute, I can't seem to
reference the correct Model instance.

See below (you can try this in your console)
---
from google.appengine.api import users
from google.appengine.ext import webapp, db

# Say hello to the current user
class A(db.Model):
  someProp = db.StringProperty()
  someStrVar = ''
  someDictVar = {}

db.delete( A.all() )
A(someProp='Hello Me').put()
A(someProp='Hello You').put()

results = A.all().fetch(10)
#print len(results)
i=0

print 'As expected: \n'
for i in [0,1]:
  results[i].someStrVar = 'someStrVar=' + str(i)
  results[i].someDictVar['x'] = 'someDictVar=' +str(i)

  print results[i].someProp
  print results[i].someStrVar
  print results[i].someDictVar['x']
  print ''

print '\nRather unexpected results:\n'
for i in [0,1]:
  print results[i].someProp
  print results[i].someStrVar
  print results[i].someDictVar['x']

---
Produces the results:

As expected:

Hello Me
someStrVar=0
someDictVar=0

Hello You
someStrVar=1
someDictVar=1


Rather unexpected results:

Hello Me
someStrVar=0
someDictVar=1   ##Here's the error.  THIS SHOULD BE: someDictVar=0 ##
Hello You
someStrVar=1
someDictVar=1

---
Notice that the property and string att are correct in both
iterations. But the dict attribute isn't.
Would appreicate any help at all.

Thanks,
Ray
