[in] >>> d = {'x':3,'y':4,'z':5}

The last line should return NotImplemented rather than False.  This problem seems to have been addressed in Python3.

See issue 21408 for the fix, which was indeed not applied to 2.7.  Now we get to decide if it should be :)

On second thought, it looks like somebody may have caught the problem at or before Python 2.7.9.

My PC at work has 2.7.6 which is where I spotted the problem.  My mac at home has 2.7.9 where it worked fine.
