Okay. This is where the irreversible nature of hash functions comes
into play. You can't actually take the hash and go back to the
password; what you have to do is try lots of passwords and find one
that has the right hash.

Python has a data structure that lets you store keys and values, and
then see whether the key you're looking for is there. See if you can
use that.
