2. Subclassing.
class CaseInsensitiveDict(TransformDict): def transform(self, key): return key.casefold() d = CaseInsensitiveDict(Foo=5) I thought about this first, and then I remembered that python-dev isn't generally very keen on subclassing-based APIs :-)
Why? This way looks most natural to me.
3. Type generator.
d = TransformDict(str.casefold)(Foo=5) [...] Third method allows you to customize other aspects of dict behavior (combine OrderedDict, defaultdict,..). Well, no, it's not that easy. Especially since OrderedDict and defaultdict weren't written with combination in mind.
They can be rewritten.
Actually the defaultdict is just simple wrapper around existing functionality of the missing method. We can add the transform method directly in the dict class. I think it will significant (2-3x) decrease a size of needed C code (no need in defining new type with constructors/destructors/etc, only lookup_transform).
