Yes - I tried that (see thread below). Unfortunately it needs Python 2.4,
and I can't rely on my users having that.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 15, in ?
    print eval("10 * a + b", globals(), l)
TypeError: eval() argument 3 must be dict, not Foo

If you subclass dict it doesn't call the __getitem__ method.
