What do you think about using the class hierarchy for the job? Instead of raising a TypeError a comparison between a string and a byte raises StringBytesError that subclasses from TypeError. The dict methods like lookdict() then reraise the StringBytesError explicitly. I'm know very little about the dict implementation and my idea could be totally wrong ... The idea just came to me and perhaps it helps to find the solution.
