Talk:Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 2.6/Dictionaries

Confusing
this really confuses me @_@  can someone explain better (no offense) I just can;t follow it. -- 24.28.7.96 4 March 2008
 * I'd second that. I'm trying to figure out dictionaries and this page was no help at all. --198.85.230.103 10 November 2008
 * There is some more info over here (en.wikiversity), when I have some time I might try and add it in. --Tehdrago (talk) 18:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * To my opinion, the python page here has a breakdown example on how to use the dictionary function thus explaining how the dictionary actually works. This wiki page on the other hand shows how you can use the dictionary like an application. Perhaps you can include some basic examples before the phonebook example? -- 27 November 2009

I would like to see an expanded definition of keys and values at the beginning of the section; the opening matter shifts abruptly. Could you explain a little more about what a key is? What is a value? Are they like variables? Are they like array/list item indexes? -- 30 December 2010

 * I've made some changes. Hopefully enough before diving right in with an example. --dark lama  16:43, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
