Hi there,

Someone much more knowledgeable than me warned about using sets and dictionaries in Python as they can be hacked. I somewhat overlooked this advice as I assumed no one would hack a random pleb, but then I saw a warning in the editorial of 1915E - Romantic Glasses at https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/123952 state "Be careful about using hash tables, as they can be hacked."

One of the responses in that thread linked to https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/62393 which provided some insights and workarounds for C++, but is there such a resource for Python? Is there a general rule of thumb for using such data structures and finding the appropriate problem-specific alternative (such as a list of tuples, which will often do)?

Thanks in advance!
