[Tutor] Dictionary, integer, compression

[Dinesh B Vadhia]

This could be a question for the comp.lang.python list but I'll try here first:

Say, you have a dictionary of integers, are the integers stored in a compressed integer format or as integers ie. are integers encoded before being stored in the dictionary and then decoded when read?
