In the case of tcp and udp ports, it's the combination of protocol and port number that's unique, not the port number by itself. So you could create a dictionary with a tuple (protocol, port) as key, and whatever data you need to associate with it as value. mydict = { ('udp',5631): 'value1', ('tcp',3389): 'value2' } -- René Pijlman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
