I am new to python and programming, so not sure if I should weigh in
here. Nonetheless . . .
Creating a dictionary seems fair, but I wonder about using pairs
rather than single letters. Roman numerals are constructed from strict
rules other than the allowable letter set -- here is the relevant

The problem is not just how to code this in Python, but how to parse a
language (in this case Roman Numbers).
I have studied formal language theory but am not an expert. So here's my
take on an algorithm that would save a lot of stress.
