class Repository(dict):
    """Repositories are containers that store a particular type of object; for example, the
    steps repository contains all the steps defined in the model. An Abaqus Scripting 
    Interface Repository maps a key to a value. The key is usually a String, and the value 
    is any Python object, usually an Abaqus object. A repository is similar to a Python 
    dictionary; however, only a constructor can add an object to a repository. In addition, 
    all of the objects in a repository are of the same base type. For more information, see 
    Repositories. A Repository has no constructor. Abaqus creates empty repositories when 
    you import a module. For example, Abaqus creates an empty parts repository when you 
    import the part module. 
    The following methods of the Repository object are standard Python dictionary methods 
    and are not described here: 
    The Repository object is derived from the dict object. 
    - has_key 
    - items 
    - keys 
    - values
