Python | How to create dynamic and expandable dictionaries
- by MMRUser
I want to create a Python dictionary which holds values in a multidimensional accept and it should be able to expand, this is the structure that the values should be stored :-
userdata = {'data':[{'username':'Ronny Leech','age':'22','country':'Siberia'},{'username':'Cronulla James','age':'34','country':'USA'}]}
Lets say I want to add another user
def user_list():
users = []
for i in xrange(5, 0, -1):
lonlatuser.append(('username','%s %s' % firstn, lastn))
lonlatuser.append(('age',age))
lonlatuser.append(('country',country))
return dict(user)
This will only returns a dictionary with a single value in it (since the key names are same values will overwritten).So how do I append a set of values to this dictionary.
Note: assume age, firstn, lastn and country are dynamically generated.
Thanks.
