\section{Python}

\subsection{Dictionary}
\begin{frame}{Dictionary}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item aka associative arrays, key-value pairs, hashmaps, hashtables \ldots    
    \item \typ{ d = \{ ``Hitchhiker's guide'' : 42, ``Terminator'' : ``I'll be back''\}}
    \item lists and tuples index: 0 \ldots n
    \item dictionaries index using strings
    \item aka key-value pairs
    \item what can be keys?

      \end{block}
    \item \typ{d.keys()} returns a list
    \item can we have duplicate keys?
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame} {Problem Set 2.1}
  \begin{description}
\item[2.1.1] You are given date strings of the form ``29, Jul 2009'', or ``4 January 2008''. In other words a number a string and another number, with a comma sometimes separating the items.Write a function that takes such a string and returns a tuple (yyyy, mm, dd) where all three elements are ints.
    \item[2.1.2] Count word frequencies in a file.
    \item[2.1.3] Find the most used Python keywords in your Python code (import keyword).
