Pls suggest me the solution .

Maybe you want to use has_key('foo') instead of containsKey('foo')? As in:

>>>x = {}
>>>x['foo'] = 'bar'
>>>x.has_key('foo')

Hint: To see the attributes of an object x you can do dir(x)

>>> x = {}
>>> dir(x)
['__class__', '__cmp__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__',
 '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__',
'__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__',
 '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__',
 '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__str__', 'clear', 'copy', 'fromkeys',
 'get', '[B]has_key[/B]', 'items', 'iteritems', 'iterkeys','itervalues', 'keys', 'pop', 'popitem', 'setdefault', 'update', 'values']
>>>
