type = "instance" instead of "dict"

[Cruella DeVille]

This is off topic, but if read the documentation is the answere to
everything why do we need news groups? The problem with the
documentation for Python is that I can't find what I'm looking for (and
I didn't even know what I was looking for either). And since every
language is well documented... there's no need for these groups.

I wouldn't ask here without trying to find the solution on my own
first.
