[Python-checkins] python/dist/src/Lib UserDict.py,1.19,1.20

[rhettinger@users.sourceforge.net]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv17523

Modified Files:
	UserDict.py 
Log Message:
Implement dict() style constructor.
Already supported dict() and dict(mapping).
Now supports dict(itemsequence) and 
Just van Rossum's new syntax for dict(keywordargs).

Also, added related unittests.

The docs already promise dict-like behavior
so no update is needed there.
