Personally, I don't find it that odd ;) and prefer it since braces can
define sets or dicts in Python, and using dict(...) makes it a little
more explicit.

BTW, your counter-example is a syntax error; you need to quote the keys,
which is another reason I prefer the kwarg-style dict definition...

Yes, you should really never have a bare "except:" to avoid catching
things like MemoryError or KeyboardInterrupt yourself.

How about just:

    def get_websockets(ws_type=None):
        return WEBSOCKETS.get(ws_type, None)
