I guess you will then need a list or tuple to store the dicts?

I might have made it with a list of class instances:

class a:
    def __init__(self,name,val):
        self.name=name
        self.val=val

l=list()
l.append(a('yadda',42))
print l[0].name
print l[0].val
      
Is the dict preferable to a list or tuple of class instances?
