One more gotcha to python... OO in python is strange :p IMO, if i subclass a class, all instance methods from a subclass instance should work with the subclass. But i'm guessing python doesn't make this distinction of instance/class methods like some other languages do (unless one uses annotations, what appears to be not the case with the dict class). Not that it inhibits me on using python in any way, in fact i do use python for my projects. I'm new to it, and I like some of its features, but some others are rather strange.
