Description : Multi key dictionary implementation
Implementation of a multi-key dictionary, i.e.:
(key1[,key2, ..]) => value
.
This dictionary has a similar interface to the standard dictionary, but is
extended to support multiple keys referring to the same element.
.
Multi-key dict provides also extended interface for iterating over items and
keys (e.g. by the key type), which might be useful when creating, e.g.
dictionaries with index-name key pair allowing to iterate over items using
either: names or indexes. It can be useful for many many other similar
use-cases, and there is no limit to the number of keys used to map to the
value.
.
There are few other useful methods, e.g. to iterate over dictionary (by/using)
selected key type, finding other keys mapping to the same value etc.
This package is needed by the new version of python-jenkins, itself needed
by jenkins-jobs-builder, itself used by the QA team (Hi h01ger!).
