#  ======
#' @title Create a virtual Python dictionary
#'
#' @description The function pyDict creates a virtual Python object 
#'              of type PythonInR_Dict.
#' @param key a character string giving the name of the Python object.
#' @param value if a value is provided, a new Python dictionary is created based 
#'              on the value. Therefore allowed values of value are named lists and 
#'              names vectors.
#' @param regFinalizer a logical indicating if a finalizer should be
#'                     be registered, the default value is TRUE.
#' @details If no value is provided a virtual Python dict for an existing
#'          Python object is created. If the value is NULL, an empty 
#'          virtual Python object for an empty dict is created.
#'          If the value is a named vector or named list, a new Python
#'          object based on the vector or list is created.
#' @examples
#' \dontshow{PythonInR:::pyCranConnect()}
#' if ( pyIsConnected() ){
#' pyExec('myPyDict = {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}')
#' ## create a virtual Python dictionary for an existing dictionary
#' myDict <- pyDict("myPyDict")
#' myDict["a"]
#' myDict["a"] <- "set the key"
#' myDict
#' ## allowed keys are
#' myDict['string'] <- 1
#' myDict[3L] <- "long"
#' myDict[5] <- "float"
#' myDict[c("t", "u", "p", "l", "e")] <- "tuple"
#' myDict
#' ## NOTE: Python does not make a difference between a float key 3 and a long key 3L
#' myDict[3] <- "float"
#' myDict
#' ## create a new Python dict and virtual dict
#' myNewDict <- pyDict('myNewDict', list(p=2, y=9, r=1))
