[Pyrex] python dictionaries with unsigned long long keys and values

[Sam Tannous]

Thanks...

In that case, I can try to convert to using lists
(as much as I hate to stop using dictionaries...
guess I can't have simplicity & speed :-(

For speed, where (and how) should one create these
lists of unsigned long longs?  Just use Numeric?

Regards,
Sam
