Hashmap in Python

Question

I want to implement a HashMap in Python. I want to ask a user for an input. depending on his input I am retrieving some information from the HashMap. If the user enters a key of the HashMap, I would like to retrieve the corresponding value.

How do I implement this functionality in Python?

HashMap<String,String> 

streetno=new HashMap<String,String>();

streetno.put("1", "Sachin Tendulkar");

streetno.put("2", "Dravid");

streetno.put("3","Sehwag"); 

streetno.put("4","Laxman"); 

streetno.put("5","Kohli")
