This doesn't work for this example, which was your question.
I still feel like this needs further clarification. For a user this behavior is not expected. User is someone who doesn't know the internal details of Python interpreter (and may not even remember that dict can be modified by reference). If you disagree with me - try to do corridor testing and see how many people will compile it in their head and give you the right answer to this example.
