Python dictionary is basically a hash table, and a set is basically a dictionary that only holds empty values, so yeah.
And regex is written in regex. (That or Python is written in C, take your pick.) Either way you'd still need some way to represent a set, or in the absence of one you'd check previous values by doing a linear traversal which is even worse.
