how to build hash tables?

[datulaida]

Hi,
first, i'm new with python.. so,i need a help..
ok,i have a dictionary with many keys. this is a simple example.

dict = { was : [ (2,1) ],
a : [ (3,4) , (4,7) ],
and : [ (1,7) ] }

I want to hashing the dict value to the hash table. for example,

hash "was" == was --> 2,1
hash "a" == a --> 3,4 -->4,7

How I do this with Python? Ideas?
Thanks.

Do not use a built-in function for a variable name (dict() is a built-in function). Dictionary keys must be immutable. Examples of immutable objects are strings and tuples.

>>> dd = {'was' : [(2,1)], 'a' : [(3,4), (4,7)], 'and' : [(1,7) ]}
>>> z = 'was'
>>> dd[z]
[(2, 1)]
>>> dd['a']
[(3, 4), (4, 7)]
>>> dd['and'][0] = (0,7)
>>> dd['and'][0]
(0, 7)
>>> 

You lost me when you said "I want to hashing the dict value to the hash table." Could you explain your problem better?
