Ehh, I guess I'm not surprised at the slowdown and extra complexity from the second dict. Oh well. If the module really turns out to be really used a lot, another (messy) approach would be to write a C extension that uses a doubly linked list some day. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
