I need help searching a large python dictionary. The dictionary is setup
like so

Key[{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}]

Key2[{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}]

Key3[{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}]



What would be the best way to search for a specific value of item1 and add
all the results to a new dictionary? Thanks

With all the messages I've seen so far on this thread, all you've managed to do is confuse it further. I suggest you start over (new thread) with a legal program defining a single dictionary (with real values for Key, Key2, and value, and without extra quote marks which make it fail to compile even if we guess what you're doing with the three keys). I suggest that at least some relevant parts of the data should not be all identical, so we can tell what's important.

Use copy & paste from working code.

Then given a real dictionary, describe what you really want to search for, and what acceptable results would be.

And also specify the programming language, version, and OS environment.

Thanks.
