In Python dictionary, you cannot have duplicate keys. What is happening in your case is that all the keys in your dictionary evaluate to the boolean value True.

True, 1.0 and 1 all are equal to -> True

So what is happening is that first the value with key True gets a value 'yes' then its value is overridden by 'no' and finally by 'maybe'

Hence you have a resulting dictionary with only one key True with value 'maybe'

So basically this is happening:

True:'yes' == True:'yes'
1:'no' == True:'no'
1.0:'maybe' == True:'maybe' (because 1, 1.0 and True all evaluated to boolian True)
