Use the .get method of the dict to return a nonzero value (say None or -1)
when it can't find an item. That will half your test cases. Example of .get
below:
--Michael
>>> foo = {}
>>> foo['d']=0
>>> foo['a']=1
>>> if(foo.get('a',1)==0 and foo.get('q',1)==0): print foo
... else: print "adsflkj"
...
adsflkj
>>> foo['q'] = 0
>>> if(foo.get('a',1)==0 and foo.get('q',1)==0): print foo
... else: print "adsflkj"
...
adsflkj
>>> foo['a'] = 0
>>> if(foo.get('a',1)==0 and foo.get('q',1)==0): print foo
... else: print "adsflkj"
...
{'a': 0, 'q': 0, 'd': 0}
>>>
