I agree with Serhiy that this should not be done.   IIRC, there were some discussions on python-dev or python-ideas about using sets for interning and the judgment was the dicts are conceptually the right type and that using sets would be hack.  The other thought was that while a set is generally two-thirds the size of dict, the bulk of the space is for the interned strings themselves.
