It puzzles me how you can do

    for pac in paclist:
        print pac.getVal()

(as quoted from your previous post) and not get an error,
since getVal takes a key as its argument. Which leads me
to suspect that this wasn't actual code. :-)

Anyway, I don't know what kind of items Packet takes
(I got it to work with a list of strings like "a=1" etc),
so I cannot do much there. However, I do notice that
all packet instances share the same dictionary (pdic).
Maybe this has something to do with it? Packet has
no attributes, so I wonder where it takes its value
from.
