Try this instead:

>>> class Person():

...     def __init__(self):
...             self.id = 5
...
>>> mylist = []
>>> for i in range(100):

...     p = Person()
...     p.id = i
...     mylist.append(p)
...
>>> mydict = dict((r.id,r) for r in mylist)
>>> mydict

What this does is it maps the id to the object. In your case, you only
have one id.
