Ned Deily added the comment: The documentation does not explicitly state whether or not dict_type values have to be instances / subclasses of dict. Can you give a code example, preferably something that could be added to Lib/test/test_plistlib.py, of a use case for something that is not a subclass of dict? Some possible courses of action here: (1) Document that dict_type must be an instance or subclass of dict; (2) Change plistlib as you suggest to allow non-subclasses of dict; (3) Change plistlib to test for a subclass of collections.abc.MutableMapping; (4) other?
