Recently had a need to us a multimap container in C++. I now need to
write equivalent Python code. How does Python handle this?
k['1'] = 'Tom'
k['1'] = 'Bob'
k['1'] = 'Joe'
....
Same key, but different values. No overwrites either.... They all must
be inserted into the container
Subclassing the builtin dict?
class d(dict):
def __setitem__(self, item, value):
if not item in self: super(d, self).__setitem__(item, [])
self[item].append(value)
>>> D = d()
>>> D[1] = "Hello"
>>> D[1] = "World!"
>>> D[1]
['Hello', 'World!']
Thanks,
