Alternatively, if you're writing a large program with many abstractions and
think lots of other people will have to read it steer clear of Hungarian
Notation in either form ;)

Hungarian breaks abstraction by tying the interface of an object to its
implementation, and seems utterly antithetical to the generic nature of
coding in Python. Who cares if it's a dict or a UserDict, or some other
object which models the appropriate mapping semantics?
