Indeed, it is just a Python question. I suggest you read something
about Python dictionaries.
You could not index a Python dictionary by *lists*, because lists are
mutable, and hell breaks if the keys of a dictionary are modified
after creation. But they can be indexed by tuples.
Hence, you can do:
sage: L = [(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)]
sage: D = dict(zip(L,range(3)))
sage: D
{(1, 2): 0, (5, 6): 2, (3, 4): 1}
sage: D[3,4]

Simon
