Pretty much the same as in perl, only minus half the crazy abuses of the ASCII character-set. Okay...well, not quite half the abuses in this case... >>> x = {} >>> y = 42 >>> z = 'foonting turlingdromes' >>> x[y] = {} >>> x[y][z] = 'crinkly bindlewurdles' Or, if you want to do it in a single pass: >>> x = {y:{z:'crinkly bindlewurdles'}} >>> x {42: {'foonting turlingdromes': 'crinkly bindlewurdles'}} -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
