Ugh. Full of ads and full of inaccuracies.

To learn about Python’s dictionaries, I’d recommend watching the talks by Brandon Rhodes and Raymond Hettinger.

Yes, Raymond Hettinger’s talk is really great! I've specified at the end of the article that a great part of it is taken from him.

The talks by Brandon Rhodes are these two:

* The Mighty Dictionary (PyCon 2010): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMyy4Sm0uBs

* The Dictionary Even Mightier (PyCon 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66P5FMkWoVU

There's also one by Raymond Hettinger, which seems to have been given first at a meetup and then, in shorter form, at PyCon 2017:

* Modern Dictionaries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p33CVV29OG8

* Modern Python Dictionaries - A confluence of a dozen great ideas (PyCon 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg
