# The Python Dictionary Class

> The Dictionary class represents the database dictionary created from the schema definition. Instances of this class are not created directly but rather using the `load_dictionary()` method. The class has no methods but the following three properties that can be used to access the internal type information:

> classes | Show the classes defined in this database. For example:
>         >>>print dict.classes.keys()
> structs | Show the structs defined in this database. For example:
>         >>>print dict.structs.keys()
> indexes | Show the indexes defined in this database. For example:
>         >>>print dict.indexes.keys()
