    HJ> it works, but wat does the -index- means?

>>> a = []
>>> print a.index.__doc__
L.index(value) -> integer -- return index of first occurrence of value

Also, note the above might give you unexpected results if you have two
different keys that have the same value i.e. if you did:

dict[3] = 'one'

You'd have two keys pointing to the same 'one' in this case you are in
for trouble.
