python-like dictionary for R

Paul -
    You can also use named vectors as something similar to
a python dictionary:

nvec = c('one'=20,'two'=30,'three'=40)
nvec['four'] = 50
nvec['one']

one
  20

nvec['four']

four
   50

Although the result is named, it can be used as a regular R
value:

20 + nvec['three']

three
    60

If the names annoy you (as they seem to annoy many R users),
you can unname the object:

unname(20 + nvec['three'])

[1] 60

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has played around this this package called
"rdict"? It attempts to implement a hash table in R using skip lists. Just
came across it while trying to look for simpler text manipulation methods:
