Dictionary bidirectional

[Akathorn Greyhat]

This is a better version of the class that I sen't you, now it raises a
KeyError when you try to insert a value that is already in

############################
class MyCoolDictionary(dict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kargs):
        dict.__init__(self, *args, **kargs)

    def __setitem__(self, *args, **kargs):
        for i in dictio.values():
            if args[0]==i or args[1]==i:
                raise KeyError, 'Value already exists'

        dict.__setitem__(self, *args, **kargs)

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        try:
            return dict.__getitem__(self, item)

        except KeyError:
            keys=[]
            for i in dictio.keys():
                if dictio[i]==item:
                    keys.append(i)
            if not keys:
                raise KeyError, 'Can\'t found key or value "' + str(item) +
'"'
            return keys
