I am new to python and am converting an awk script to python I need to store some data in an array/table of some form
keyvalue1, value1, value2, value3 keyvalue2, value1,value2, value3 keyvalue3, value1,value2,value3 etc I will later need to sort in keyvalue order and also need to be able to check if a key already exists It is not clear how to do this in python. All the examples I see have just a key and a single value -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
