Thanks again for your answers Steven. I will try to explain it simpler because I think I tend to complicate things. With your help I have arrived at this point: I have the dictionary varsdict as below Key Type Size Value FEq_(0,_0,_0,_0) float 1 1.0 FEq_(0,_0,_1,_1) float 1 1.0 FEq_(0,_0,_2,_2) float 1 1.0 FEq_(0,_0,_3,_0) float 1 1.0 FEq_(0,_0,_4,_1) float 1 1.0 and the dictionary A as below Key Type Size Value FEq_(0,_0,_0,_0) float 1 1500 FEq_(0,_0,_0,_1) int1 0 ... FEq_(0,_0,_1,_1) float 1 3300 ... FEq_(0,_0,_2,_2) float 1 1.0 FEq_(0,_0,_3,_0) float 1 1.0 FEq_(0,_0,_4,_1) float 1 1.0 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
