Bug Description

This was an explicit design goal and I just found out that it doesn't work anymore.

If we can't create Dicts from JS, we can't use Python libraries that use Dicts.

Ironically, one such library is PythonMonkey, which uses Dicts to pass evaluation options to spidermonkey. And because JSObjectProxy is not a py_dict, PyDict_GetItemString doesn't find the filename, which is why the stack traces for the modules no longer include their filenames.

There must be a solution to this problem.

This is incorrect:
"Unfortunately, we can no longer create dicts from JS, so option processing does not work"
We clearly can. We are just missing compatibility with PyDict_GetItemString as described by Caleb
We made some decisions for Full compatibility with Dicts that are not under question now that a given feature does not work for well-known reasons

We will post a feature request to the relevant Python forum for this one

let's keep it open until post has been done and as a follow-up on the post

@philippedistributive Wes says to, if you like, make a separate ticket for posting a feature request to the python team, but this ticket should not be blocking v1.0.0
