just curious. why are you bothering in creating a dictionary? why not just 
iterate over attributes? why duplicate it and make it bigger? I personally 
think the dictionary is unnecessary but I may be wrong.

anyhow, I keep getting "SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc2'..." on line 5. 
anyone know what this is? I couldn't run the script but from looking at it, 
it appears you're making some pointless keys when indexes may be better.
