TypeError: dict subscripting takes no keyword arguments
Just because something is syntactically allowed doesn't mean it has to
be given a meaning in all circumstances. Just as not all functions
accept keyword arguments:
py> len(x=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: len() takes no keyword arguments
so not all subscriptable objects will accept keywords.
