#2113: Python 3 dictionary view objects not supported

 This seems to be related to #2019, except there is no segfault; just that
 code that worked under Python 2.7 no longer works under 3.2.

 {{{
 import numpy
 d = {0: numpy.zeros([5]), 1: numpy.ones([5])}
 numpy.sum(d.values())
 }}}

 On Ubuntu, with the packages python2.7 2.7.3-0ubuntu3 and python-numpy
 1:1.6.1-6ubuntu1, the result is:
 {{{
 5.0
 }}}

 With python3.2 3.2.3-0ubuntu1 and python3-numpy 1:1.6.1-6ubuntu1, the
 result is:
 {{{
 dict_values([array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]), array([ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,
 1.])])
 }}}

 NumPy appears not to recognize the new Python 3
 [http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html#dictionary-view-objects
 'dictionary view object']. In order to get the same result, I must do:
 {{{
 numpy.sum(list(d.values())
 }}}

 This gets very cluttered when feeding data from dicts to NumPy functions.
