Could this replace a python dictionary? Assuming you're ok with losing some entries now and then?


That's a huge "assuming".


No, not even if you were willing to put up with arbitrary loss of some entries. For example, one of the required behaviors of a Python dictionary is that one can iterate through it, but this data structure can only be iterated if the size is small enough.
