This discussion is mistakenly focused on locals(). There is a direct
way to have arbitrary keys in the dict of a type:
>>> MyClass = type('MyClass', (Base,), {42: 64})
>>> MyClass.__dict__[42]
64
There is, however, no way to modify or add non-string keys in the type
after its creation. So the question is whether the type() constructor
is allowed to fail with a TypeError when the initial dict contains
non-string keys (this is PyPy's current behavior).
A bientot,
Armin.
