how to add?

i create a dictionary (i think thats the name):

a = {"nr1":"Number 1"}

but how do i add new keys?

Adding keys to a dictionary Python is very easy , it's allot like assigning a vaule to a variable i.e. dictionary[key] = value would add a key to the dictionary with a value

Here's a small example of this from Python's shell..

>>> dictionary = {'one': 1}
>>> dictionary
{'one': 1}
>>> dictionary['two'] = 2
>>> dictionary
{'two': 2, 'one': 1}

Note: dictionaries are unordered and don't need to be for obvious reasons

Have fun,

thanks!

oh wow... that's a better than the way that i've been doing it.

i've been doing this:

dictionary.update({'two':2})

well, ya learn something new everyday...

Also, if you want to create a dictionary with string keys, you can write:
