Unless you need to ensure compat with ages-old Python versions, better 
to use newstyle classes:

class Graph(object):

>     def __init__(self, dictionary):
>         self.dictionary = dictionary
> 
>     def find_path(self, start, end, path=[]):

Unless you exactly what you're doing (and given your current problem, I 
can tell it's not the case), *don't* use mutable containers as default 
function argument values.


      def find_path(self, start, end, path=None):
          if path is None:
              path = []

>         path = path + [start]

           path.append(start)

>         if start == end:
>             return path
>         if not self.dictionary.has_key(start):

           if start not in self.dictionnary:

>             return None


>         for node in self.dictionary[start]:
>             if node not in path:
>                 newpath = find_path(self.dictionary, node, end, path)

                   newpath = self.find_path(...)
