No, it doesn't have them, yet. But the general idea is to delegate completely to the host language here, ie represent RPython lists and dicts with corresponding collections from the host language. There will be nothing like the rdict and rlist implementations that the lltypesystem uses. I'm not too sure how specifically this delegation should be done (maybe Samuele can say something about it), this is one of the last open issues for the ootypesystem. But I'm planning to look into this a bit before the end of the week and make e.g. at least tuples work for ootypes and the Squeak backend. As I will have much less time for PyPy after this week, maybe you can then take over and look into dicts and lists for ootype? I'm not sure how realistic it is to expect you to start from scratch here without any groundwork already done for ootype collections.
