Thanks Chris,
yes it's becoming clearer now.
And defaultdict looks nice - unfortunately I'm stuck to python 2.4 as I'm
using Plone.
Thanks again,

Greetings,
I'm trying to categorize items in a list, by copying them into a
dictionary...
A simple example with strings doesn't seem to work how I'd expect:
>>> basket = ['apple', 'orange', 'apple', 'pear', 'orange', 'banana']
>>> d = {}
>>> d = d.fromkeys(basket, [])
>>> d
{'orange': [], 'pear':
