Regarding the `bits` function in the talk

Hi Mr. Rhodes,

Sorry if this is a naive question. I am following your lecture along but I got stumped in one of the first slides. For your line of code:

    print(bits(hash(key)), key)```
Apparently for Python 3.7, bits is not a built-in function anymore. I tried using `bin` but didn't get the same results. Googling "Python 2.7 bits function" didn't get me anything useful at all. 

I am sure this won't affect the whole lecture, but still am curious to know. 

Thanks.

python 2.7 changes

when i try to run _dictdraw.py (or any other file that uses _dictdraw) i get this error:
File "_dictinfo.py", line 85, in <module> dummy = dictobject(d).ma_table[0].me_key
ValueError: NULL pointer access

i'm using windows and python 2.7.

i think this problem is because the internals of dictionaries has changed from version 2.6 to 2.7.

is there any way to fix this?
