Hi!!I would like to prepare a dictionary with complex structure:
complex = {name ="value",surname="po",age=poi)
What is the most pythonic way to build a dictionary of
dictionary?thanks for any help!
This doesn't look too complex so I am probably missing something.
The normal dictionary construction would look something like this:
mydict = dict('name'='value', 'surname'='po','age'='poi')
Then you can access any given item in mydict with the get method:
mydict.get('name')

my understanding is that you could have done it in either of the
following two ways:
1: mydict = dict(name='value', surname='po',age='poi')
2: mydict = {'name': 'value', 'surname': 'po','age': 'poi'}
Also, accessing any given item might be done as follows:
mydict['name']
rather than calling the get method, n'est pas?
