Python (and me) getting confused finding keys

of course. But unless there is a way of using threading without being aware of 
it, this is not the case. Also, edges is definitely a dict (has been declared 
some lines before, and no obscure functions have been called in the meantime, 
just some adding to edges). Python would also fail on edges.keys() if edges 
wasn't a dict...
