The DictMixin class from the UserDict module is *not* deprecated -- only the UserDict class from the same module. (If you found info saying otherwise pls provide a URL: the info is wrong and I'll try to get it fixed -- thanks!). DictMixin's purpose is exactly as you state: letting you make a complete mapping class out of one which only supplies the very basics, by mix-in inheritance.
