nesting dictionaries in a list

nesting_intro_example.py

from dictionary import * # importing another program so we can use its code in this new program

# START WITH AN EMPTY LIST
classmates = []

# USING THE APPEND FUNCTION TO ADD DICTIONARIES TO THE EMPTY LIST
classmates.append(john)
classmates.append(jane)

classmates.append(sue, james, bart) # adding multiple dictionaries at one time

# now, test it:
print(classmates) # prints all the new data
# or
print(classmates[2]) # prints the third item in the list. Remember, lists are 0-based, so Python starts numbering at 0
