Dictionary items have no implicit sequence, so you don't "append" to
one.
Assigning any value to a key in the dictionary will create that key if
it doesn't exist.
>>> groups = {'IRISH': 'green', 'AMERICAN': 'blue'}
>>> groups['ITALIAN'] = 'orange'
>>> print groups
{'IRISH': 'green', 'AMERICAN': 'blue', 'ITALIAN': 'orange'}
Please enjoy your trip through the Python tutorial, working through
the examples and understanding each one.
