that's a rather common pattern, and you don't really need a special type to handle it: just replace d[k] with d[id(k)]. if you really need to store the keys in the dict, use d[id(k)] = k, v. you can find some use of this pattern in Python's standard library. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
