In general dictionary define strong relation between keys and values, key should have only one associated value, but in your case value can be a tuple or list.
Anyway, i think that your question contradict to dictionary concept, because is impossilbe to assign for some key multiple values. -- Vyacheslav Maslov -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
