Description: # Dictionary read on disk
        
        Query items out-of-memory from a dictionary that would take to long to open, or one that doesn't fit in RAM, with Dikt.
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
        
        
        ### Installing
        
        You can install the method by typing:
        ```
        pip install dikt
        ```
        
        ### Basic usage
        
        ```python
        import dikt
        import random
        
        
        # generate a dictionary with 1 million entries
        N = 1000000
        data = {
            # key can be anything you want
            # values will be "eval"-ed by Python
            "key_" + str(i): list(range(i, i + 100)) for i in range(N)
        }
        
        # persist to dictionary using dikt
        dikt.dump(data, "data.dikt")
        del data
        
        # load file
        data = dikt.Dikt("data.dikt")
        
        # get item without loading the whole file in RAM
        print(data["key_125"])
        
        # or get multiple items at once (here 10k)
        keys = [f"key_" + str(random.randint(0, N - 1)) for i in range(10000)]
        print(data[keys][0])
        ```
