Sorry everyone, I found the bug in my code shortly after posting here. For the curious:
I was using a QString (pyqt) inadvertently in the lookup. I guess the behavior then would be would be that QStrings hash differently than strings which accounts for the membership check failure, but lists do an equivalency check of some sort (I don't know the C code, this is an educated guess) without ever hashing so it succeeded. -- Zachary Burns Aim - Zac256FL Production Engineer Zindagi Games On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 11:34 AM, Zac Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greetings, > > I have a dictionary that seems to be misbehaving on a membership > check.
