This could be a 'deep copy' issue - check the python.org website. Other thing you could try is: hash_one = {} for i in my_list: hash_one[i] = test The way you had it, you're chucking the old hash_one every iteration, and re-assigning it to a fresh dictionary {i:""}

this is more purely a python question as i am using external methods for most of my processing.... SOS,,, perl guy getting squeezed by the snake.
so this seems like it should be trivial but as a perl hack just learing, i'm not sure of the syntax, or if i am missing something basic about the dictionary type.
so, i have a list of strings that will be used as keys, say:
my_list['K1','K2','K3']
for each of those keys, i would like to create a dictionary that has as its value a dictionary that like the following:
test = {'us_lead': 0, 'foreign_lead': 0, 'us_gov_lead': 0, 'foreign_lead': 0, 'us_other': 0, 'foreign_other': 0 }
for i in my_list: hash_one = {i: ""} hash_one[i] = test
this seems to "reset" the value of has_one with each iteration instead of updating it?? the key should be different, why is this??
