Since dictionaries are constant databases, you might convert them into  
djb's CDB database which at least at one point had Python bindings.  
That'll give you a constant two-seek word lookup at the expense of  
fuzzy matching and incremental search. However, if you're using  
straight python dicts, you probably don't have either of those now; I  
haven't looked at the code.
