Thanks a lot, I will add the entry as another option. Cheers Nice. Thanks a lot, I will add the entry as another option.

The post was written just to compare both. Sometimes you are caught without the right set of tools and knowing an alternative might be handy. Some people claim that sets are slower than dicts, while others claim the opposite. Exactly. The post was written just to compare both.
