Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:

It looks like PyMapping_Check() already checks for the presence of a fairly 
arbitrary special operation (mp_subscript).  It sounds fine to replace that 
with a check for the presence of a keys() or items() method (I'm not sure which 
one is more representative). I wish the check can be done fast -- but I fear 
that it'll involve a dict lookup.  So be it.
