Help on slow attribute copy

[wout]

Hi there,

I am fairly new to python, the problem is as follows:

newnodes = {}
for i in nodes:
    newnodes[i.label] = i.coordinate

is very slow, which is due to the dots, I know that for functions the 
dot lookup
can be done outside the loop, can this be done for attributes in any 
way? (in such a way that it is fast)
Coordinate is a tuple in this case, filling a dictionary of that size is 
no problem without dots.
I use python 2.0 as shipped with abaqus,  there are about 100000 nodes 
in the current case, and more to come, and the
system can be stuck on this for 15+ minutes :-(

Greetings
Wout
