newbie question!

[Brian]

Hi, im new to python and have a simple question...

i want too have a list of values - say numbers of tables in a restaurant...
1,2,3,4,5. i want to associate a value with each of these numbers... eg. yes
or no. when a person books table 2, the value corresponding to 2 turns to no
[not available] etc...

what would be the best way to do this ? a little code help would help aswell
!!! - newbie

thanks,

Brian
