Can't we simply raise an error if the dict contains
non-string keys?
Sounds okay to me.
For 3.3, the most we can do is trigger a deprecation warning, since
removing this feature *will* break currently running code. I don't
have any objection to us starting down that path, though.
I think it would be sad to lose that functionality.
If we are going to, though, we may as well check the string to make sure
it's a valid identifier:
--> class A:
--> pass
--> setattr(A, '42', 'hrm')
--> A.42
File "<stdin>", line 1
A.42

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Doesn't seem very useful.
