I guess what i honestly want to asks, but am hesitant to since it makes me look like a dork is:

What would this look like if i want to use a straight up built-in dictionary type and not the collections.defaultdict.


import collections

def foo():
        lookup = collections.defaultdict(list)
        x = range(10)
        y = range(5, 15)
        z = range(8, 22)
        sets = {'x': set(x), 'y': set(y), 'z': set(z)}
        for key, value in sets.items():
                for element in value:
                        lookup[element].append(key)
        print "\n", lookup, "\n\n"
        for x in lookup:
                lookup[x].sort()
                print x, lookup[x]
        print "\n"
