Again, you can find it in the library reference:
    http://python.org/doc/current/lib/typesmapping.html

Although it isn't clear until you've read that that dictionaries are a
"mapping type", if you look in the index you'll find that both "dictionary
object" and "dictionary type, operations on" point you to that section.

I think you probably want to familiarise yourself with all of section 2 of
the Library Reference.
