Even though both functions look identical, because *lookup_dict* is utilizing the fact that dictionaries in python are hashtables, the lookup performance between the two is very different.
Even though both functions look identical, because *lookup_dict* is utilizing the fact that dictionaries in Python are hashtables, the lookup performance between the two is very different.
