Storing the objects in a list uses less space.  Since the requests are
now unique when identified by a url and uuid tuple, it seemed obvious to
store these as a tuple.  Can you explain what you think will be gained
by using a dict here?  It didn't seem like an obvious choice to me.

A dict or a set would be fine, but checking for a key in a dict should be faster than checking for a tuple pair in a list. I don't know about a set.
