Thanks Dave and Mitya for enlightening me about dictionaries. I'm still confused about this though:
" so that if two key objects are equal, they stay equal, and if they differ, they stay different. " What does this mean? I won't be comparing key objects with one another. Also, when I had two keys with the same value the value of the other key disappeared so I assume in runtime if there are multiple keys of the same value only the last one will appear. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
