-<li>Python confirms that the two dictionaries, <var>entry</var> and <var>entry2</var>, are identical.

 <li>For reasons that will become clear later in this chapter, I want to point out that the value of the <code>'tags'</code> key is a tuple, and the value of the <code>'internal_id'</code> key is a <code>bytes</code> object.
