Hi,I have a program that uses a dictionary for indexing, the program reads several files, and and puts the words in the dictionary, after that it uses that dictionary and updates some values and puts in another dictionary: the question is if I want use the last dictionary for searching do I need to store it in a list such as "Shelve" so that I can access lateror I can keep the last dictionary for searching ? below is what have as a code: adict = {}
        temp = aword.findall(file.lower())        i = -1
        #print temp # prints a listfor test  #eliminate all stoplist words
        for word in temp:
            if word[0] != '<' and word not in stop_list:
                   
                    #print s # prints each word
                    i = i + 1      
                    #add the word tokens and their positions
                    #to dictionary
                    adict.setdefault(word,[]).append(i)           nwords = math.log(i + 1)          tempDict = {}
        for word, positions in adict.items():                
            # coumpute the word frequency
            frequency = int (100 * (len(positions) / nwords))
            
            # this dictionary puts the keys with multiple variables
            tempDict.setdefault(word,[]).append(key)
            tempDict.setdefault(word,[]).append(frequency)
            tempDict.setdefault(word,[]).append(positions)
