No, it's not, but you can get the same effect by casting
the object to a dict:
cdef void foo(object x):
cdef dict d
if isinstance(x, dict):
d = <dict>x
d['spam'] = 5
Or if you don't care about type safety, you can skip the
type test and just do
cdef void foo(object x):
cdef dict d
d = <dict>x
d['spam'] = 5
