This is something else entirely and almost *certainly* not what you want. 
Here's the skinny on how to subclass the built-in `dict' type.

class Dict(dict):
  # Your mods go here.

"classic" (i.e., old, almost deprecated) class.  Change your class
definition to look more like what I have above and things should start
working.

If you're willing to post the code, we could pinpoint the problems much
faster.
