[Tutor] suggestions for read unread items datastructure

[anil maran]

i m sure the users need to maintain their own data,
but as a provider we need to store their information

stay in the site, after they exit, im sure they would
like to come back to the same info, wont u

so i was wondering what is the best way to maintain
the list of read/unread items in a python
datastructure,
