Hi Jared,
'dictionary' here is misnamed in the program: it's not a dictionary that
you've constructed here, but a 'set'. Sets and dictionaries in Python
unfortunately use very similar syntax, which leads to this confusion.
Try:
dictionary = {}
Start with that. You can then say things like:
dictionary["one"] = 1
Read:
http://docs.python.org/3.3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries
for a few more examples with dictionaries.
