Here's a little less convoluted version: cells = dict(NOR3X1=dict(lvs='pass', drc='fail'), OR3X=dict(lvs='pass'), AND3X1=dict(drc='fail')) for cell in cells: print cell for run, expect in cells[cell].items(): print cell, run, "should", expect Or even: for cell, expectations in cells.items(): print cell for run, expect in expectations.items(): print cell, run, "should", expect You might prefer .iteritems rather than .items if the lists get huge. * I use the dict(name=val [, name=val)*) form if the keys are symbols. * Don't get any more indirect than you need to. * A list of single-entry dictionaries is almost never a good idea; if you mean a list of pairs, use that. if you mean a dictionary with a number of keys, use that. -- -Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
