The data structure you want to use is a dictionary - known as hashmap or
hash or map in other languages. Lets say you have a few objects of type
town that you want to access using their zip, then things could look like
this:
------------
class Town(object):
def __init__(self, zip, cool_clubs):
self.zip = zip
self.colo_clubs = cool_clubs
towns = [Berlin(10439, ["Marietta", "ICON", "Bastart"]),
Cologne(50000, ["Subway", "Stadtgarten", "Gebäude 9"])]
index = {}
for town in towns:
index[town.zip] = town
----------------
Hope that makes it clear to you - look into the tutorial for a chapter about
python data structures.
