[C++-sig] Re: static methods

David,

It seems to me (I have not tested) that with your fix the following code
will execute normaly:
int main()
{
    dict d;
    assert( d[0] == object() );
    return 0;
}

But in python:
>>> d=dict()
>>> d[0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File("?stdin>", line1, in?
KeyError: 0
>>>

Regards,

Nikolay
