Hello,
I was trying to see how some have implemented a hashtable. I took a gather at dictobject.h/.c. It seems that underneath it all it's a linked list and that is used in order to store the actual information (I'm looking at PyDictEntry.)
Am I correct in my assumption or is there more to this? I'm still looking into how new entries are handled.
Thanks
