[circle] hash.py question

[Matthew Wilson]

I'm reading hash.py now.  If I understand right, the hash_of(str)
function returns an MD5 of a string.  

Is there some array or other container that tracks all the nodes that
the client is aware of, and then that md5 is mapped to one of those
nodes? 

Any general recommendations for how a total outsider to this project
could get up to speed are welcome.

Matt
