I have just started learning Python, and I have never used dictionaries in
Python, and despite the fact that you used mostly non-descriptive variable
names, I can still read your code perfectly and know exactly what it does. I
think I could use dictionaries now, just from looking at your code snippet.
Python rules :-)
