What is python-multi-key-dict
python-multi-key-dict is:
Implementation of a multi-key dictionary, i.e.: (key1[,key2, ..]) => value
This dictionary has a similar interface to the standard dictionary, but is extended to support multiple keys referring to the same element.
Multi-key dict provides also extended interface for iterating over items and keys (e.g. by the key type), which might be useful when creating, e.g. dictionaries with index-name key pair allowing to iterate over items using either: names or indexes. It can be useful for many other similar use-cases, and there is no limit to the number of keys used to map to the value.
