Issue1334468

jython should return false when testing if a dictionary
is a sequence type, but it returns true.  Cpython
2.1-2.4 return false.

jython 2.1 and 2.2a2:

Jython 2.1 on java1.5.0_02 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> from operator import isSequenceType
>>> isSequenceType({})

cpython 2.1-2.4:
Python 2.1.1 (#20, Jul 20 2001, 01:19:29) [MSC 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

>>> from operator import isSequenceType
>>> isSequenceType({})

PyDictionary seems to inherit its isSequenceType() method
from PyObject where it is defined to true. I notice that
some other classes like PyInteger override this with:

     public boolean isSequenceType() { return false; }

So perhaps the fix might be as simple as adding the same to
PyDictionary?

I think kzuberi is probably right -- I'll look into it.

Thanks to Khalid Zuberi (kzuberi) for the suggested fix.
Closing.
