+.. class:: MappingProxyType(mapping)
+
+   Read-only proxy of a mapping. It provides a dynamic view on the mapping's
+   entries, which means that when the mapping changes, the view reflects these
+   changes.
+
+   .. versionadded:: 3.3
+
+   .. describe:: key in proxy
+
+      Return ``True`` if the underlying mapping has a key *key*, else

+
+      Return the item of the underlying mapping with key *key*.  Raises a
