The Python tutorial will be a big help.

Everything you've described here can be done with one of Python's innate
data structures, called a dictionary. Look here:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node7.html
Lo and behold, the example given is a small telephone directory. Your
professor must have been snooping around here.

I'm not sure what you mean you "only" wanted use these fields. Maybe
you're figuring that Python comes with a ready-made phone book entry
data type that would include these and several others. Nope, you have
to put something together yourself.

So how to make a phone book entry data type, with these particular
fields? Go back to the tutorial, chapter 9, about classes and objects:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node11.html
You may want to design your fields as attributes of a class, and then
your phone book can be a list of instances of that class. If you want
some flexibility in how to search your phone directory, go to
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/customization.html
and read about "__cmp__".
