If you are asking if an object instance can be stored in a dictionary
the answer is yes.
example:
>>> class foo:
... def method(self):
... print "in foo.method"
... return
...
>>> adict={'fooclass': foo()}
>>> adict['fooclass'].method()
in foo.method
>>>
Instances of classes are just like any other data you might put into
a list or a dictionary. I hope that is what you were asking.
