Yes, I think so. I asked about this earlier in a thread called "in vs on". Python objects have both __getitem__ (for x[y]) and __getattr__ (for x.y) Dan agreed that for python, using get_pmc_keyed and getprop (respecitvely) was the way to go. Granted, python *classes* wouldn't normally allow __getitem__, but since you can pass them around like any other object, I want to treat classes and objects the same way and handle their differences in the vtable.
