I want to find gengyang's score. This is what I tried :

print((results["gengyang"])["score"])

but I got an error message instead :

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#62>", line 1, in <module>
     print((results["gengyang"])["score"])
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you ..

Your new results type is a list of dicts.

Lists are indexed by a number. That will be results[1] for the dict relevant to "gengyang" (not even the 2 of the "id", because lists start counting at 0).

To find the entry for particular name, you have to search for it (for a list entry where the dict key "name" gives you the value you expect, ie. "gengyang" in this example).

So a dict of dicts was a better idea.
