Three other MutableMappings we might want to update: - shelve.Shelf - weakref.WeakKeyDictionary - weakref.WeakValueDictionary Shelf is up in the air, since it doesn't look like it defines a copy() equivalent... I also have no experience with it. Since it's a MutableMapping subclass, (not a dict subclass), we could in theory hold off on updating this until someone asks for it, without backward compatibility issues. I think the other two should be updated, though. I can coordinate PRs for them this week.
