I can extend dictionary to allow for the my own special look-up

Why do that anyway? You can use a tuple as a subscript:
d[1,'abc',40] = 'dummy'
Also, at some point, it's time to use a database.
If you find yourself writing those "dictionaries" to
files, or trying to look up everything with "abc"
in the second subscript, a database is appropriate.
