Which reminds me, we need to support roman numeral constants.
A silly implementation follows.
class RomanNumeralDict(dict):
def __getitem__(self, key):
if not self.has_key(key) and self.isRN(key):
return self.decodeRN(key)
return dict.__getitem__(self, key)
def isRN(self, key):
for c in key:
if c not in 'MmCcXxIiDdVv':
return False
return True
def decodeRN(self, key):
val = 0
# ... do stuff ...
return val
