Of course in the real world using given name as a unique key is ludicrous: 'mike' is a.k.a. 'michael' (or 'mikhail' or 'michele' (which may be a typo for 'michelle')), and if there's only one 'sue' in your little black book you need to get out more :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
