Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I suppose the Python implementation supports arbitrary mapping, not just dict. We could use general mapping API in the C implementation, but I think it isn't worth. __deepcopy__ is used internally by copy.deepcopy(), which always passes a dict. I think it isn't worth to backport a fix, and it doesn't need tests. The behavior of calling __deepcopy__ with non-dict is implementation detail. But it shouldn't crash or raise SystemError.
