ChainMap is constrained to be a Mapping-like object, but I get your point. Let's see what others say about the "lookup()". It is kind of an experiment to try a name and see if it fits.

I like "get" more. ;-)

Best, Sven

PS: This might be a result of still leaning towards attribute access despite the discussion you referenced. I still don't think complicating and reinventing terminology (which basically results in API names) buys us much.

And I am still with Ethan, a context stack is just a ChainMap. Renaming basic methods won't hide that fact. That's my only criticism of the PEP. The rest is fine and useful.
