... and just because I think List Comprehensions are really cool.....

>>> mylist = ['0101', '0102', '0103', '0201', '0202', '0203']
>>> [bins.setdefault(s[-2:], []).append(s) for bins in [{}] for s in mylist]
[None, None, None, None, None, None]
>>> print bins
{'02': ['0102', '0202'], '03': ['0103', '0203'], '01': ['0101', '0201']}
