Jerry,

You are pushing your luck with so many repetitions of your posting.

First, you probably don't need the line 'user':key.  items() delivers 
this for you.

If every record has the same structure, you could work with the tuple 
(secnum, name).

It's not clear what the role of the class instance will be.
