Delta-dictionary / dictionary with revision information in python?

Question

I am looking to create a dictionary with roll-back capabilities in python. The dictionary should start with version number 0, and the revision will only be populated with an explicit method call. I do not need to delete keys, add and update key pairs, values, and then roll back. I will never need to "fast forward", that is, when dragging dictionaries, all new versions can be discarded, and I can start restarting again. so I want a behavior like:

>>> rr = rev_dictionary()
>>> rr.rev
0
>>> rr["a"] = 17
>>> rr[('b',23)] = 'foo'
>>> rr["a"]
17
>>> rr.rev
0
>>> rr.roll_rev()
>>> rr.rev
1
>>> rr["a"]
17
>>> rr["a"] = 0
>>> rr["a"]
0
>>> rr[('b',23)]
'foo'
>>> rr.roll_to(0)
>>> rr.rev
0
>>> rr["a"]
17
>>> rr.roll_to(1)
Exception ...

# Original rollback code:
for rlist in the_dict.itervalues():
    if not rlist: continue
    while rlist[-1][0] > target_revno:
        rlist.pop()

# New rollback code
for revno in xrange(current_revno, target_revno, -1):
    for rlist in delta_index[revno]:
        assert rlist[-1][0] == revno
        del rlist[-1] # faster than rlist.pop()    
del delta_index[target_revno+1:]
