[{'continent':'Asia','continent_code':1,'ocean':'Pacific','country':'India','country_code':1,'state':'Kerala',
    'state_pin':500001},


    i am trying to to make it in this format

    world = [{'continent':'Asia', 'ocean':'Pacific',
    'countries':[{'country':'India',
    'states':[{'state':'Kerala', 'state_pin':500001},
    {'state':'Karnataka', 'state_pin':500002}]
    }]
    },

    Please help me in this regard.

In what regard? Where do you need the help?
You seem to know the data format you want?

The only thing I'd suggest is to consider using classes if you are familiar with them.

world => list of continents
continent => class containing countries
country => class containing states
state => class containing data

It then becomes easier to build helper methods to extract/manipulate the data you are interested in.

Alternatively, if you have a large amount of data a database may be another option. Swap table for class above and use SQL to manage the data.

But other than those suggestions I don't know what kind of
help you want?
