title: Best data-structure to save a word to a corresponding number?
body: <p>I'm pretty new to python and just need some advice. I'm basically making a python reddit tool that will help me find the top comments, their score, and save them so they can be sorted by highest score at a later time.</p>
  
  <p>Initially I was going to save them to a dictionary with a 'score:comment' format but was told this was not ideal. Any suggestions for the best route to go in this situation?</p>
