Floats as keys in dict

[Brian Elmegaard]

Hi

I am making a script to optimiza by dynamic programming. I do not know
the vertices and nodes before the calculation, so I have decided to
store the nodes I have in play as keys in a dict.

However, the dict keys are then floats and I have to round the values
of new possible nodes in each step. When profiling I see that the most
time consuming part of my script is rounding.

Is there a faster way than round() or is there a better way to test
than 'in' or should I store the keys in another way than a dict?

tia,
