I implemented the "hashmap" as a list of dictionaries (python3). The list is 256 elements long, and the index of the list to either place the lens into or pop from is the result of the hashing algorithm developed in part 1 on the first letters in the current line in the sequence (ie. 'rn', 'cm', 'qp', ...). Hope that helps.
