keys in python dicts can be any data type, as long as they are immutable. this creates a dict with keys as: - int - string - tuple - float dic = {1:'one', 'a':[1,2,3], (1,3):'hello',1.34:'no'}

By a simple test using this snippet, it seems keys of different types are acceptable. I think the key's mutability matters more. d = { "one" : 1, 1 : "True", 2 : "two", 3 : 3, True : 4 } print(d)

Jan Markus I guess Python only rewrites the value of an item if the item's key can be evaluated as equal to the key of a new item being inserted.
