My expectation is that we would create a new dictionary for the error structures and append that to the list of dictionaries. We would then pull that dictionary out in the python code to build the string that would actually get printed out to the user. If I understand things correctly the existing python code would not need to change unless it wanted to pull out that error information. -evan
