[Zope-dev] built-in 'dict' and 'list' in PythonScripts

[Andreas Jung]

The built-ins 'dict' and 'list' are not what they supposed to be in a 
Python environment:

print isinstance('foo', dict)
return printed

will raise a TypeError because 'dict' represents an instance of 
ZopeGuards.GuardedDictType.

This behaviour is confusing if you are not aware of it. At least the 
documentation of PythonScripts
should be updated to reflect the differences.
