ouldn't simplify your approach as follows?

The nice thing about Windows
e 'dict' as a variable name, as it shadows
the built-in 'dict'.
If you really want to obfuscate this, you could use:
my_dict = {1: 'astring', 2: 'anotherstring'}
print "\n".join('Press %i for %s' % (key, value) for key, value
n
> order to produce the correct mathematical result.
Again, the mathematical result is correct. -123^0 is -(123^0), not
(-123)^0.

The fact is, that triple-quoted strings can span on multiple lines, and
that single-quoted strings cannot (without the line ending with a "\").
So no, it's not a bug in the interpreter.

ined classes are hashable, by id. You can
override this behaviour by defining the __hash__ special method on
your object.
