I think what he really wants to end up with is a dictionary of
dictionaries:
{'BACKUP': {'Total' : 34,
'Passed' : 32,
'Failed' : 2,
'Not Run' : 0
},
'CDU': {....}
}
Or, somewhat more work, but a richer solution, create a FacilityData
class, whose attributes are total, passed, failed, not_run, etc, and
have instances of FacilityData be the values.
