The code looks good.  The only thing I could argue for is:

which might be better off as types.DictType, but they, we've had a lot of
religious argument about this.


I'm not sure if dictcat() should have to worry about non-dictionaries; it
might be better off giving a message that dictcat() needs to take a
dictonary-like object; otherwise, it might obscure some errors that the
programmer might forget to check.
