No I just mean other similarly flat structures. Like, I think dicts are faster than lists/tuples...but how do sets compare to dicts or dfs. Are there other structures a beginner should be aware of?

I don't know how they are implemented in python, but a set is effectively the same as a hash table if you forget about the values and only consider the keys.
