print "%s" % some_dictionary[some_tuple] Or for that matter: print "%s" % some_dictionary[any hashable object at all] What you can't do is use string interpolation like this: print "%(123)s" % some_dictionary unless the string "123" is a key in the dictionary. Having a key 123 will not work, and the same for any other object. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
