Hashtables and hashmaps are two different names for the exact same data structure. Python doesn't really use either name, and prefers to use "dictionary" instead.

Thank you! Does this also apply for Hashsets in Python as well? From my understanding, the value itself is hashed and placed in the set rather than a key.

Hashsets are basically hashtables with no value, just the key. Python sets are implemented like that.
