You can use tuples as keys in a dict

R = range(3)

board = {}

# Initialize the board.
for x in R:
    for y in R:
        board[x, y] = 'O'


def board_to_string(b):
    return '\n'.join(
               ' | '.join(b[x, y] for x in R)
               for y in R
               )


>>> print board_to_string(board)
O | O | O
O | O | O
O | O | O

>>> board[0, 1] = 'X'
>>> print board_to_string(board)
O | O | O
X | O | O
O | O | O
