External Hashing [was Re: matching strings in a large set of strings]

[Helmut Jarausch]

I think one could apply an external hashing technique which would require only
very few disk accesses per lookup.
Unfortunately, I'm now aware of an implementation in Python.
Does anybody know about a Python implementation of external hashing?

Thanks,
Helmut.
