This may be a very rudimentary question, but here goes:
If I have a simple dictionary, where the value is a class or function,
is there an interface through which it can discover what its key is?
Similar to index() for list.
For a list, assuming I new what the parent list was I could do something
like this.
.... def get_parent_index(self, parent):
.... return parent.index(self)
....
Is there a way to do something like that with dicts?
On a similar note, if one object is part of another, is there a way for
the 'child' obj to discover what/who the 'parent' object is? That way
parent does not have to be explicityly passed to get_parent_index?
The idea is like this:
.... def get_parent_index(self):
parent = self.magic_parent_discovery()
.... return parent.index(self)
....
Thanks much

0a = child()
l = [a]
b = l[0]
b.get_parent_index(a)
b.get_parent_index(l)
