You need to use two dictionaries. Here's a class that someone's
written that wraps it up into a single dict-like object for you:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4376
It contains code like:
try:
del self.data[item]
except KeyError:
pass
Exceptions are useful in python, but with dictionaries this is
probably faster (and shorter), even if it may perform two lookups:
if item in self.data:
del self.data[item]

The only case where it would be faster would be if most of the keys were NOT in
the dictionary (rather odd use case). Otherwise I believe you will find the
first way quicker as the exceptions are infrequent.
