In the case of tcp and udp ports, it's the combination of protocol and
port number that's unique, not the port number by itself.

So you could create a dictionary with a tuple (protocol, port) as key, and
whatever data you need to associate with it as value.

mydict = { ('udp',5631): 'value1', 
	   ('tcp',3389): 'value2' }
