Hash index equality mock concept in Python

A simple hash index class in Python that stores key-value pairs in buckets and demonstrates basic equality-based lookup.

hash-index hash-table database
Python
class HashIndex:
    def __init__(self):
        self._buckets = {}

    def insert(self, key, value):
        """Insert a key-value pair into the hash index."""
        index = hash(key) % 10
        if index not in self._buckets:
            self._buckets[index] = []
        self._buckets[index].append((key, value))…
